SanDisk Unveils Wireless Flash Drives

Known as a leader in the Flash storage business, SanDisk is taking its first step into wireless territory with the release of two Wi-Fi-based storage devices.

The Connect Wireless Flash Drive and the Connect Wireless Media Drive join the already-impressive lineup of standard storage devices from SanDisk. CNet reports that they "use flash memory as their storage, have a built-in battery and a 802.11n Wi-Fi network, and support multiple Wi-Fi clients at one time. They can also relay the Internet access by connecting to another Wi-Fi network and share that network's Internet connection to all the devices that are connected to the Wi-Fi network of their own."

Both drives are expected to hit shelves in September. The Connect Wireless Flash Drive will run $50 and $60 for 16GB and 32GB. The Connect Wireless Media Drive costs $80 for 32GB and $100 for 64GB.

Tips for Educators: Look Before You Leap

In my many years in education and school administration I have met a large number of unhappy educators. I used to tell our undergraduate teacher candidates at a college to do your research about the school and the position before you sign your contract. Look at all aspects of the school (culture and climate), location, reputation, salary, benefits, working conditions, teacher assignments and schedule, extracurricular expectations, etc. If at all possible I do not recommend settling for a...

Tips for Educators: Refresh Your CV and...

As you continue your educational journey as a teacher or administrator, you should update your CV and portfolio. I always recommend that you keep a folder, paper or electronic, for activities you want to remember for future reference. This is useful if you ever plan on transferring or applying for a promotion. I suggest that you add to your folder at least during the winter and summer break. Of course you can do more often but it can become a habit if you do this at least twice a year. This...

Tips for Educators - Waiting for the...

When you have applied for a new position at a different school, you have probably wondered why it has taken the school so long to notify you about the interview or their hiring decision. This can be for several reasons. Unfortunately, some schools don’t even bother to inform you they have received your application or CV. If they have received your application or CV, they have decided that you don’t fit what they are looking for. If you have not heard anything in a week to 10 days, I think...

Tips For Educators: School Culture

What to experience as you are applying for a new school.

Every school has a culture.

When you have a group of people together for any period of time, a culture emerges that consists of a set of customs, beliefs, values and norms. This culture can either create a sense of mutual purpose, a mission, a vision, values, and goals or perpetrate discord. Every school has a culture, unseen but it is there. A very important aspect of school. A positive culture can make for a positive...

Tips For Educators: Before The Interview

Improving your interviewing skills is important but here are some tips for you to prepare for that all important interview.

The first thing I would strongly suggest is to be on time to the interview. Whether it is a face to face or a zoom meeting, be on time. Arriving late is never a good first impression. Last year I interviewed close to 300 candidates and I was sadly disappointed on how many were late. Know the time, day, and location of the interview. I would even suggest driving...
