Aug 31 geo classes will begin a week-long research project in the library and need a flash drive

The Middle East / Southwest Asia unit will unfold with studies of nations in the library. Today as I planned the unit with the librarians they reminded me that students should be highly encouraged to use flash drives to save their work each day.

Floppy disks and CD's have proven frustrating, reminded Mrs. Kay Gammill and Mrs. Lorna White.

Neither the size nor brand of the flash drive matter. Old ones work as well as new ones, in my experience. One thing I'd like to request: keep the lanyard attached to the tiny device. It helps prevent accidental loss.

Questions? Ask in class or look it up. Wikipedia has an effective explanation of how the flash drive works.
