Cloud Computing Mobiles Electronic Books

Cloud ComputingOne Year or Less

Networked computers Distributed Processing Power Hosting and Sharing - Flickr, Google,

YouTube Applications - Splashup, JayCut Creating & Presenting - Prezi, Vuvox,

SlideShare, SlideRocket Google Apps for Education

Impact – Cloud computing can offer significant cost savings in terms of IT support, software, and hardware expenses. It has become common for schools to use cloud-based applications to manage calendars, rosters, grade books, and communication between school and home. Examples of student use of cloud resources, however, are more rare.

MobilesOne Year or Less

Mobile Devices – phones,iPad, Internet access

Applications – games, reference materials, music Google Earth, Evernote

Built-in Features – microphone, camera, GPS

Access & Communication – Wiffiti in the classroom

Collect Data - PollEverywhereImpact – portability of mobile devices and their ability to connect to the Internet almost anywhere makes them ideal as a store of reference materials and learning experiences in real time

Electronic BooksOne Year or Less
