Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is delivery of computing services over the
Internet. Cloud services allow you to use hardware and software. It costs less,
its more secure and a more reliable software. Examples of cloud computing is
online file storage, social networking sites, and webmail. Cloud services
should be combined to meet the needs of twenty first century educators and
learners. The cloud computing model allows access to information and computer
resources from anywhere and anytime on any device. The only thing that we need
is the network connection. Google Glass is one of the most effective and
helpful tools that help learners and educators. I can’t imagine my life without
Google apps that make my life really easy while searching especially for
literature reviews and books. The wealth of information we get by just
fingertips is tremendous. Learning is not just happening in class but it’s
ongoing while learners are out of their classroom. Google Glass extends
learning beyond the physical classroom. Another good option that Google Glass
offers is that we can engage everyone in any school community even the families
are more involved than any other school that doesn’t use Google Glass.
What about Google Apps for education it has many helpful
tools for everyone: Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Groups, Talk, and Sites. Each has
its own characteristics and can be used for different purposes. Google apps is
always up and running. Your data is safe, secure and in your control. You own
and control your data by detailed privacy policy. You can get apps today and go
sign up.
I recommend you more webs like www.chrom.google.com/webstore
Chrome books are great to use in classrooms. They are web
based computers that are easy to use. Students open the web and sign in and
search for the information they need, it’s not time consuming at all it saves
valuable learning time inside the class. You don’t need to worry because everything
is saved on the web. Students have web application for them to access. Chrome
can be shared and they are saved. Another great tool for teachers this time is
you tube for schools and teachers that allows you bring any educational video
to class. www.youtube.com/teachers
www.google.com/edu
Finally, cloud
computing offers benefits for both organizations and individuals.
