The use of floppy disks is not recommended.

When saving work you should save to your secure personal save space on the network, Drive X:. This area is accessible to you from any school computer, Mac or Windows.

If a teacher is only needing to share a document with one other person or a few people, the best solution we have is for them to simply attach the document(s) to an email message. This may also be a good solution for teachers needing to transfer files home. They can simply email files to their home account.

Floppy disks are unreliable and outdated. Most computers being sold today don't even have floppy disk drives. Floppies can be damaged from: pressure on the disk, proximity to magnetic or electrical fields, heat, cold, high humidity, fluids, and regular use. Floppies are also slow and don't hold much data. A single high quality scanned image can take up more space than is available on a floppy disk.

If you do plan on saving work to floppy disks be sure to keep back up copies.
