We selected an emerging trend to study in depth, and wrote an analysis paper that included information not only about about how it has been recently used in education but how we might also incorporate it into our own teaching. [Assignment instructions]
Please click here for my analysis paper.
For this assignment, I chose to delve into the realm of cloud computing in K-12 setting. I was engrossed in the variety of case studies featured in the Horizon Report and was highly motivated to include more cloud-computing components in my classroom. The benefits are tremendous. In addition, I was interested in the connections between many of the emerging trends discussed in the Horizon Report. Mobile learning, online learning, open content, virtual labs, and personalized learning all have ties to cloud computing. Its significance is inarguable. Through my research and in writing my paper I have concluded that cloud computing increases collaboration, organization, innovation, problem-solving, digital literacy, and environmental stewardship among and between students and teachers. I believe living in remote Bermuda, students would benefit from cloud-based education to connect them with other cultures, educational institutions, and curricular resources. Although there are still many obstacles to a school going entirely "in the cloud", such as infrastructure, set-up costs, privacy, and security, hopefully in time more schools will jump on the bandwagon.
