Project: Teacher4.0 - comprehensive method of implementation of Industry 4.0
concept into didactic practice in primary and secondary schools

Cloud computing as a main source of information

Learning outcomes

After the teachers get acquainted with the theoretical part of the Module “ Cloud Computing as the
main source of information”, they will:

• learn about the importance and benefits of using Cloud Computing as the main source of
information in education;
• learn to use cloud computing tools and applications in the teaching-learning-assessment
process, but also in collaborative activities;
• gain the necessary knowledge how to teach students with the use of cloud computing tools
in the development of didactic materials;
• gain the skills needed to teach students using the concept of cloud computing in the
classroom;
• be able to introduce elements of Cloud computing in their didactic approaches.

The theoretical part of the module includes building up on the non-IT teachers’ knowledge whereas
the practical part provides them with exercises and lesson plans to teach Cloud Computing skills to
students.
Introduction

Against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, which has pushed many states to close
schools for a long time, teachers around the world are now challenged to adapt quickly and
send an important message to students: lifelong learning beyond school and with online tools
accessible to all and a lot of determination, we can make progress together and, more than
ever, we can encourage students to learn and work independently.

In order to create successful habits, the management of each school must coordinate the
organization of the online school and the teachers must communicate with each class, in instant
messaging groups organized in advance. All this context means more training time and a greater
coordination effort for teachers. Even though physical classroom interaction will not be fully
recovered and not all classes will be organized online, the successful examples of those who
have already begun to apply these measures show that no matter how difficult the process is, it
is feasible, motivated and patient. The success of such an approach depends first of all on the
best possible planning.
Teaching - learning - assessment in CLOUD aim to explore new dynamic ways to educate. This is
in line with the way we think, share, learn and collaborate, in different sectors of education, by
exploiting the opportunities that arise from the "cloud" environments.
