I need to pre curse all of this by stating the following...up front: cloud based storage has been wonderfully useful for me. I love the ease of use; I love the channels for collaboration; and I love the free storage space (my cloud of choice is Google Drive, though there are others). In my estimation, the integration of this technology is a no-brainer for schools of all shapes and sizes. (Though its usefulness within an elementary classroom context is debatable). Not only could [secondary] students connect via a cloud storage service (such as Google Drive) in order to do group work, and store collective research, teachers could also utilize the space in order to gather and share data, shape lesson plans, and prepare team teaching sessions, all from the comfort of their living rooms. And while I agree that safety may be a concern (the Novi side of me has requested that I mention this fact), I'm convinced of it's value as a teaching tool. Cloud storage is here to stay, it can be a valuable contributor to school life, and I would suggest that we all take the plunge and get connected.
