So I'm going to set up a a couple scenarios for you. First, are doing a research project and you type into google what you are looking for. You find a lot of great sites but also a lot that aren't so great. You start writing your paper and forget to write down all of those websites. When you are ready to site your sources, you have to go back to google and find all of the websites you used again.
You are getting ready to go on a trip. You search for hotel rooms and flights. You find a great deal but didn't write down where you found it and kept searching. You try to go back to find that deal but you can't find it.
You are on a website at school and you find a great source. You don't write it down and go home to look at it again and it takes a half hour to find it.
Well, not anymore! Simply Box eliminates all of these problems. All you have to do is sign up and it is free! Once you are signed up, if you find something you want to keep, all you have to do is "box it" and it will be on your simply box account. You can have as many different boxes as you wish and if the boxes get to big you can make them into containers. These can store all the things you find online that you don't want to lose or forget where you found them. You can even email the boxes to friends and even if they don't have an account, they can still view what is in them. If your friends do have a simplybox account, they can add things to your box!
This is a great tool to show students- especially if they are working on some kind of research project. This could help them keep their information organized.Another idea could be for you to create a box of whatever information you want your students to see and email to your students to look at.
I set up an account and have tried it out a little and it is very easy. I am really looking forward to using it!

It does sound like a cool idea. I might have to try that as well!
