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 "This book provides direct quotes from teachers and students about amazing cloud-based applications. You'll find innovative tools and practices, step-by-step instructions for implementation, and an array of tools for all grade levels and subjects. The classroom may now be in the cloud, but this book will be at my side anytime I need tech tools that are creative, easy-to-use, and fun for teaching and learning." 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.
