The importance of  using cloud computing in the classroom. Cloud computing is, undoubtedly,  necessary in the classroom today. Cloud computing is necessary and important for many reasons  . First, cloud computing makes it possible to teach anywhere in the country. As a professor , for example, I am teaching students in New England , New york, California, Denver, South Carolina, North Carolina, New Orleans, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hamsphire, St louis, Buffallo, Tampa Bay, and many other places in the country without leaving my actual place of residence here in Palm Beach county. I am only able to do so much and teach such a diverse group of students because cloud computing makes it possible for me to be tremendously productive. Would I able to teach in New Mexico while living here in Florida ? No, I would  not be able to do so. Second, cloud computing is necessary and important because because it allows me to share my ideas with any student in the world instantly. For example, Marie is a current student who I am tutoring in Brazil. Twice a week, she emaisl her work to me to be graded. Thus, I email her the following day to provide feedback on her work. So far, it has been quite effective, it could not have been possible without cloud computing. thirty years ago, I would not have been able to provide such a valuable service anywhere around the world. Today, however, it is possible because of cloud computing.Third, cloud computing is necessary because it saves time and money. before cloud computing, I used to spend a tremendous amount of money on driving, on communication, and other aspects of my academic development. Now, I am able to accomplish so much more because I am able to use cloud computing.
