Sorry so long since I have posted, but wanted to share a firefox add on, that has truly saved my sanity, and might yours too. I live in a rural rural area, so my internet well SO much better than dial up, has a cap of 15gb (I have flash drives bigger than this) for downloads and uploads. Yes, most people in cities have 250gb....you see my dilemma since discovering teacher blogs and TPT and Teacher's Notebook...I hit my cap quite frequently. So when the Jackpot above was announced, I had a few options, a)spend Sunday downloading at work (ummm...no) b) hit my cap (I am already at 9) and suffer until I renew on the 22nd (note this is the slowest speed ever known to man, so ummm no) So then I decided there HAD to be away to save documents directly to my google doc (now google drive) meaning no downloading to computer. Well after many many hours of playing with different add ons (this applies to firefox only, I HATE IE, and Chrome is so new to me, I don't want to even try right now) so I thought I'd share in case you would like to do it yourself.
On Firefox click tools adds on.....
Search in box for Open IT Online
Install making sure that you have selected all to go to google viewer, after doing so it will tell you ' that it has been installed. You will need to restart Firefox for it to work. After restarting, open one of the freebie links (I am using Denise's at
Sunny Days in Second Grade Fabulous Freebie for the example) Click on her link to TPT (make sure you are logged in to TPT)
Right click on the download
now, and click on open link in new tab.
The above will pop up in the new
tab, click on the button that says Open IT online (making sure Google docs
Viewer is selected) click ok
This is what you should see, click
on save in google docs and you are done! Now I am off to download all these
freebies myself! I hope I will be back with Teacher Appreciation gifts I did for coworkers.
Hope this helps!
