Google for Education and Cloud Computing

Google for Education and Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the type of storing the information in the clouds without installing any software in your computer i.e. in the network area. But how  we can be secure and sure that our information is not going to disappear from the cloud. Below looking at the image you can notice some advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing.

Here is the video from Ted Talks about cloud computing that will help you understand well its meaning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeOb0rKrt7A

The bright example of cloud computing is google. Teachers can use google for educational purposes and one of the most usable tools is google documents that allow teachers to make collaborative their classes having all their students working at the same time on the same document. That’s really amazing to have such a tool.  I also liked the Google Apps for lesson plans that allows one to choose and implement the lesson plans on different topics and subjects. Exploring more the google from the viewpoint of teachers I would suggest more google sites for English teachers that seemed to me interesting. They are the following:

1.   Google for Educators Discussion Group: This is a great online tool that allows teachers create their groups and create a discussion boards.

2.      Picasa: Site for searching, editing and sharing pictures online: It can easily be used for creating storytelling and other similar projects done by students.

      Below you can see different Google applications that are modern, easy, and free to use.
