With the change within the education system, many schools are looking for new ways to teach students the same curriculum that was taught when instructors were in school, but with a new twist. The ways of using textbooks and presentations are a thing of the past. “By bringing technology into the classroom, teachers can refine the methodology that students are familiar with, leading to more effective teaching strategies and better outcomes.” (Chen, 2013) The new twist would not only allow students to access other students for study groups. They may also receive help from home instructors with set office hours outside of school. Local computer schools are starting to embrace cloud computing to teach students who choose to do school from home. The cloud should be able to give students the feeling of being in a home classroom, a sense of focus, while still being independent. With access to cloud computing from the Internet, sensitive information about any student should be prohibited. The cloud is encrypted but presents security, privacy, interoperability, or performance risks when selecting a public cloud. Measures to preserve student privacy have been seen as an ever-increasing problem. A private cloud would be more ideal for a scalable implementation to determine what information is shared among that school district's student body, teachers, and administrative employees. Thanks to the scalability of a private cloud, the cost of its use can be kept manageable. The rules of cloud use should be outlined in a student handbook that is given to each student and parent at the beginning of each semester. Cloud computing security is monitored not by the school or school district but by..... .middle of paper......easy retrieval from any device. Plans can also be changed at will on the cloud. Presentation slides can be shared with students in their class. Security is set by each individual through the use of a password that will allow them to access their information stored on the cloud. Teachers can organize group studies to work on projects. Scaling to add more storage for more students enrolling in a school year and withdrawing that amount when enrollment is low is another way to look at cost savings. It's not always possible to predict the future based on how many students will be enrolled for the 2015 school year versus the 2020 school year. Knowing that the cloud can be adapted to each school year is better than knowing that the district will have to shell out more out-of-pocket the same amount with significantly fewer enrollments in a given year.
