Cloud Computing Resources

Old NewsImage by ...-Wink-... via Flickr

As the words "Cloud Computing" continue to become a household phrase, there are still many people asking - what exactly is Cloud Computing? I have compiled some resources to assist with that question:

I believe the question is why shouldn't be incorporate cloud computing solutions into our environment? Are they more cost effective? Right now - yes. Do we have the infrastructure to support it? Yes. Are these tools being used by our users outside of the K-12 environment? Yes.

Cloud computing a "household phrase"? What geeky households are you hanging out in? (:-)

Seriously, good topic and good links. Cloud computing and SaaS (Software as a Service) have the potential to radically change how we think about and use our computing devices. We are rapidly approaching the vision of John Gage of Sun Microsystems who famously said "the network IS the computer".

Thanks,
