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 at school, but with a new twist. The ways of using textbooks and slideshows are a thing of the past. “By bringing technology into the classroom, teachers can focus on a methodology that students are familiar with, leading to more effective teaching strategies and better results.” » (Chen, 2013) This new twist would not only allow students to access other students for study groups. They could also benefit from help from home instructors, with designated office hours outside of school. Local cyber schools are beginning to adopt cloud computing to teach students who choose to be homeschooled. The cloud should be able to give students the feeling of being in a classroom from home, a feeling of concentration, while being independent. Since cloud computing is accessible from the Internet, sensitive student information should be prohibited. The cloud is encrypted but presents security, privacy, interoperability, or performance risks when selecting a public cloud. Measures taken to preserve student privacy are considered an ever-increasing problem. A private cloud would be more ideal for a deployment that could be scaled to determine what information is shared among students, teachers, and administrative employees in that school district. Thanks to the scalability of a private cloud, the cost of using it can remain manageable. The rules for using the cloud must be described in a student handbook which is given to each student and parent at the start of each semester. Cloud computing security is not monitored by the school or school district but by... middle of paper......easy recovery from any device. Plans can also be changed at any time in the cloud. Presentation slides can be shared with students in their class. Security is defined by each individual using a password which will allow them to access their information stored in the cloud. Teachers can organize group studies to work on projects. Scalability to add more storage for more students enrolling in a school year and remove that amount when enrollment is low is another way to look at cost savings . It is not always possible to predict the future as to the number of students who will be enrolled for the 2015 school year compared to the 2020 school year. It is best to know that the cloud can be adapted for each year school rather than knowing that the district will have to pay the same amount with significantly lower enrollment in a given year..
