Week 12 - Social Tools and Cloud Computing

In this lesson we learned about cloud computing which is using a sever-based application as a server instead of using a specific platform.With this lesson we did a project on Delicious to help up understand it. This website allows you to save bookmarks all on your own page so if you are not at home you can go there and find them all. Or if you want to set up a page to give out to people with important links that is possible to.

I think that this is very useful for teachers. There are always links that parents or students should be going on and by having a very easy to find list of all of the important ones it will hopefully push them to be more likely to view them all. It's also easier for oneself as a teacher as well. There will probably be many websites I myself need to use and having them in one place would be very simple and easy.

I found this video on cloud computing on youtube. I think it does a good job explaining cloud computing. It got my attention at least and had me curious. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it spoke of cloud computing that you have to pay a monthly subscription for which takes away the benefit of "free" a little.
