Storage refers to the media on which data, instructions, and information are kept and also the devices that record and retrieve these items. It stores these items when they are not in use. A storage medium is the physical material on which data, instructions, and information are kept. Floppy disks and zip disks can be used to store items, but they are quickley being replaced by other portable storage devices. CDs and DVDs can also be used for storage. A USB flash drive is a flash memory storage device that plugs into a USB port on computer or mobile devices. They are very easy to use. They can hold from 64 MB to 4GB and higher. Experts believe that this type of device will eventually make 3.5 inch and Zip disks obsolete.

I learned how to link different slides to each other in Powerpoint presentations. I think I will definitely use this in future classrooms. If I want to make interactive quizzes in Powerpoint this is something I will have to use.

I can't wait to go home this weekend! I haven't seen the beach in over two months. I miss having the beach so close to my house. It's only ten minutes away back home. And here, we are like an hour or so away from the nearest beach. If the weather is good I am definitely making a beach trip.
