Presentation Agenda Successes with Web 2.0 Tools Challenges for students using traditional school computers Paridigm of "cloud computing" Google Apps - Education Edition benefits challenges "cloud computing" and portability Q & A
   
Important Concepts  Do not use technology for technology sake – does it improve learning ?
Important Concepts  A great way to learn a technology or new skill is on-line videos
Important Concepts  Educators do not have to know how to use any of the technology they assign to students They just need to know what the technology can produce and how long it will take to complete the finished project
Teacher  Comments 
Student Reactions to Web 2.0 Tools I like moving around this is a way to meet other students in the class I enjoy using my hands I get tired of writing all the time so podcasting is a fun change I work harder on these assignments because all my friends in the class will see them I enjoy creating assignments that look professional I like having the opportunity of showing my work to a wider audience  
However......    Despite the successes we experienced using Web 2.0 tools in the classroom, there were still technological challenges in the school.
What do you do if..... Jason arrives to school with his World Issues ISU essay on a USB key.  He tries to open it at school but is unable to because his word processor at home is incompatible with the school's word processor.  His ISU essay is due in 20 minutes and Jason can't get home...               WHAT DO YOU DO?
What do you do if.....   Maria creates a presentation for her Law class on a Macintosh computer at home.  Unfortunately all the computers at the school are PCs and she is unable to show her presentation.               WHAT DO YOU DO?
What do you do if.....   You have assigned a group presentation in your ENG 4U1 class.  In one group, three students have part-time jobs, two students are on the Rugby team and one student is trying to earn their 40 community hours.  They are unable to get together after school to work on the group project due to their incompatible calendars.   WHAT DO YOU DO?          
What do you do if.....   You are teaching a grade 12 History course and the final June essays are due.  One of your students comes to you and says that his computer crashed and he lost all his work.  He's not sure when he will be able to submit the paper.               WHAT DO YOU DO?          
What do you do if.....   You have asked your Grade 10 Science class to do their class presentations using Power Point.  Three students in your class tell you they are unable to do this assignment because they do not have this program on their home computers and there is a limited number of school computers with Power Point due to the licensing fees?               WHAT DO YOU DO?          
Challenges  These challenges often require the TCT or Teacher-Librarian to leave their regular work.... and may require substantial time to resolve.    
Challenges for the Teacher passwords have to be distributed every year students' work is erased every year not enough disk space to support Web 2.0 tools limited ability for students to communicate with each other electronically teachers and students have different software programs
Challenges for IT must maintain servers backup virus and spam protection re-imaging of computers  purchase and upgrade software licences limited ability to take advantage of students using their own PDAs
Challenges - environment printing
    Solution???
Cloud Computing                  Could be the Answer           to your Problems
Cloud Computing You are already using cloud computing Data is held on Internet servers Programs which run the email service are on Internet servers
Cloud Computing Which means........ you only need a browser to access both programs and data Data, Programs,  Communication Tools .... all in the cloud
Cloud Computing Data, Programs,  Communication Tools .... all in the cloud
Cloud Computing   Accessed by any  computer or PDA through an Internet  connection
Cloud Computing Programs now include: word processor spreadsheet presentation software the ability to share documents calendars communication services including video software to create webpages/wikis
Cloud Computing Quotes Obama’s new  Chief Technology Officer Vivek Kundra "I’m all about the cloud computing" Discussion on why the city of Washington DC changed to Google Apps “were able to solve that problem for half a million dollars what would have cost ... $4 million"
Cloud Computing Quotes "Frantic troubleshooting by an overworked staff versus someone else fixing problems smoothly. A sliver of server space per person versus a five-gigabyte chunk. Half a million dollars versus free. That's what colleges are faced with as they decide whether to continue running their own e-mail services or outsource them to a professional service like Google Apps Education Edition" Chronicle of Higher Education, 1/11/2008
Cloud Computing Quotes "We can provide IT resources less expensively by thinking differently about the way we use the Internet.   Providing access to computing resources by using the Internet is called computing in the cloud"   "Cloud resources provide additional ways in which we can think differently in these difficult financial times.  It is crucial to use these technologies as we look to the future."  David Smallen , vice president  Information technology- Hamilton College
Cloud Computing Quotes " The school dumped its own e-mail program in exchange for Google Apps in 2007 .. it freed us up to concentrate on classroom applications"   Kevin Roberts, chief information officer Abilene Christian University
