File sharing and using Dropbox and Cloudshare is something I have used a little at home with the iPads and iPods that we have. It has been great to track on my iPhone when my children download apps at home & I can see exactly what they are doing!
Using this in the classroom would be fantastic. Kindergarten are able to take photos and videos on the iPads and then to be able to download them straight to computer for easy saving or printing would be fantastic! If things are automatically linked to other devices it saves the need for teaching children to constantly log on and off different devices and to find the same files or to save the same file on different devices.
I can definitely see different uses for Dropbox and other file sharing program's. My iPad is synced with iCloud which seems to be very similar to Dropbox and is so handy for all documents and programs that teachers use and need to share.
I have never used or seen neuAnnotate +PDF and this was interesting to look at. I can see the benefit of using an app like this to edit and annotate work / documents etc in the upper grades. I don't think it would be useful for Kindergarten particularly in the early part of the year!
