This article was about all the benefits that come with using the cloud. The cloud is basically tools on the Internet that let you store your information there instead of on your hard drive. If schools start using these tools they can save a lot of money by not having to purchase expensive programs. Working on the cloud allows you to do many of the same things you could do on other programs but it is free. Another benefit is that you can access your work from any computer that has Internet access. It is much more efficient because you don’t have to carry a flash drive or a laptop. On the cloud you can also have work that co-workers or students can all access and work on together which makes it much more efficient than other programs that you need to purchase. There are some concerns about the clouds security and privacy but from what is known it is secure and private. There are a few things that you cant do on the cloud but for the purpose of school it is more efficient that what is being used now and it will save schools lots of money.
Q 1. How long will it be before most schools start implementing this technology?
A. I think in the near future you will see school adopt these tools. They are cheaper and more efficient; it’s just a matter of training teachers to use them so they can implement it into the classroom.
Q 2. Who will benefit most from this technology in schools?
A. I think everyone will benefit; teachers, students, and administrations. The teacher and students will learn to use tools they can use in the future and the school will be saving lots of money they can hopefully invest elsewhere to improve the overall quality of education.
