Hello Cloud Team,
My personal experience being “in the cloud” is using Dropbox so I am looking forward to learning about the options, benefits and drawbacks of this concept.
When you go to the “have you ever heard of” section the answer was no to all. So…lots to learn.

I’m impressed, Cloud Team! Your intro does a great job of clarifying what a cloud based LMS is, and has piqued my curiosity! Thank you 🙂

I look forward to working my way through this… being a web 2.0 junkie (twitter, Google Apps, evernote, Drupal, WordPress, Moodle, Facebook,Dropbox, Prezi,, and on and on), I think the ‘cloud’ IS in fact the next ‘sliced bread’. 🙂 An LMS focus will be very interesting.
Cheers!

Spectacular presentation group! I really enjoyed the Voki, and how it personalizes the interaction. (I’m going to try making one myself). The wiki is superb, and the learning modules are interesting and edifying. Great work!

Kudos to the team! I just finished your entire module and cannot tell you how much I have learned. Cloud computing was an area in which I was woefully uneducated. Your team has created a very comprehensive overview which included all neccessary issues and components.. Loved the wiki, and the Voki was a new introduction to me. Fantastic job all around!

Thanks, Kim for your positive comments. Although I felt I knew a little about cloud computing before I started this project, I now know just how little it was. This project has certainly supported the concept of “To teach is to learn and to learn is to teach.” Thanks,
Tim

Great job! Your presentation was succinct. I learned a few more things that I could use in my teaching practices, some time in the near future. Very useful. The wiki was a good idea to share our experiences.

Thank you for your comments and your contribution Marie-France. It was interesting to read how you are utilizing VOKI to teach French. I am looking forward to sharing your experience with my colleagues who teach English and French as an additional language.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Hello Cloud-based team. Wow, after participating in your activities this week I can honestly say that my head is now out of the “clouds”. You explained everything so well and I really enjoyed what you had to offer us.
Well done,
Donna

Well done Group! That wiki is great – super comprehensive and has alerted me to new “cloud” apps I never knew existed!
Excellent!

Thanks Cloud group. You certainly brought some factors about the cloud to my attention that I had not thought too much about…mainly security. I like the Wiki…will be useful.
