The sky’s not the limit anymore—get your head in the cloud!
Making the most of the digital age in education just got easier. With cloud computing, students can connect with teachers, educators can connect with colleagues, and opportunities for meaningful collaboration can grow exponentially.
In this easy-to-use primer, the author of bestseller Going Google teams up with Twitter’s The Nerdy Teacher to demonstrate what cloud-based instruction can mean for teachers and students—and how it can work for your school. The book includes
- Practical tools for integrating cloud computing into the curriculum
- Student and teacher testimonies detailing examples of cloud-based instruction in action
- Chapters on storing, communicating, sharing, and creating
- Strategies for ensuring safety and security for students and information
Mark Barnes, Author of Teaching the iStudent and 5 Skills for the Global Learner
“It’s more important today than ever before for educators to look beyond the walls of classrooms and connect with other colleagues in their buildings and across the globe. This book will equip all educators with the tools necessary to find the best tools to enhance and improve their teaching practices.”
