This is a short video that defines "the cloud" and looks at the uses for it. The best part is that the reporter, near the end, asks what will we be using the access the cloud in a few years - a laptop or something else. One of the reasons I promote teachers coming up with interactive assignments that include links, video, e-books, etc. is that I believe we are only a few years away from Internet devices being cheap enough that very few students will be without them (and hey, they may even roll up and fit in your pocket). So the more you can get your students on the cloud and you working on it as well, the better prepared you will be to take your students to a completely digital world!
This is a webpage written by high school teachers for those who teach US history who want to find online content as well as technology that you can use in the classroom.

Cloud computing is becoming more and more popular. I think it is very useful!
