Ever since I found it a few years ago, the way I share files with friends, family and colleagues has changed completely. Dropbox, and similar services, make sharing big files and multiple files as easy as saving them on your own computer. What could be better? The first signs of trouble start if the person or people you want to share with don’t use Dropbox. True, it only takes a few minutes to set up, if they’re computer savvy, but what if they aren’t? Below you will find a list of extra simple file-sharing services. Dropcanvas Dropcanvas is a beautiful file-sharing platform, which makes use of “canvases”. A canvas is limited to 5GB, but you can create as many as you wish, so there is no actual limit to the amount of files you can store and share this way.
Pastelink Pastelink lets you share files in seconds, and is completely free of charge. There is no limit to the number of files you can share with Pastelink, but you can’t share several files at the same time. Snaggy. Creating a Game-Based Online Class.

Unfortunately, the medium of a blog post does not permit me to teach you how to create a game-based curriculum by experiencing it. This adds a layer of complexity to my task, but one that is not insurmountable. It is my hope that you can follow these easy steps to design and implement your own game-based class in the near future.
