I use Boot Camp on my Mac, and quite often I create files in Windows and want those files on the OS X side as well. It's a pain to take out a USB flash drive and copy the files there, reboot, and copy them again. If the files are large, emailing the files to yourself may not work either.
One solution is Dropbox. As Dropbox works on OS X, Windows, and Linux, all you have to do is install Dropbox on your Boot Camp Windows installation, then drop or save any files in theree; they will automatically transfer into OS X the next time you boot back into the Mac OS.

Responding to student writing in an effective and timely manner is important to student success. Teaching writing is hard work, and it takes a lot of time, more time than most of us feasibly have. However, we can find a way to respond to student writing in a detailed manner that doesn’t take significant blocks of time. We could conference with students (and this is a very effective teaching tool), but we can also respond to students through the use of digital/audio recording. By recording our comments to students, we are able to give more feedback, be more personal, and connect more easily with the student writer. And, as studies have indicated, the students are more receptive to those personal words.
