Actually, it goes back even further, to 2005 when it was called FolderShare. To feed the "me too" argument further though, it wasn't a Microsoft-created product -- they bought it from ByteTaxi Inc.

What I loved about FolderShare is that sync'ing to the cloud was optional, so you could use it to sync between computers only.

If you can get by without any social interaction, you'll probably find that Distance Education will keep you happiest.

I doubt this guy will do well in distance ed.

I run across many students like this (I call them gifted learning disabled) and find they generally do not have the organizational skills to succeed in any sort of independent study program. They have learned in their early years of school that they do not have to work hard for their marks, then they slack off and become apathetic, and end up becoming demoralized by the whole education system. Things like to-do lists and deadlines no longer seem important to these students.

This is a real challenge in high school. How do we keep gifted students from becoming bored and not achieving what they are truly capable of?
