Classroom Connection:

Teaching students which file extensions to utilize so that they can avoid overloading an inbox, maxing out storage space and/or causing web pages, blogs and wikis to load slowly is invaluable—especially if you’re teaching computers or multimedia courses.

That said, print the cluster of infographics explaining file format facts and then post it in your classroom as a handy reference.
