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

mastery of standards. For example, a student could respond to an assignment by uploading a video
recording, taking a picture of a piece of artwork they made or sharing a document that they worked
on with peers. The cloud offers students opportunities to use their voice and choice in how they
demonstrate their learning and allows them the opportunity to utilize many technologies to do so.
Through the cloud, teachers and students can customize assignments to meet a student’s specific
needs.

Just as technology is shaping and changing future jobs, the 21st-century classroom needs more
flexibility in terms of design and layout. Teachers can also harness new and innovative classroom
structures through cloud computing. Innovative classroom formats such as blended or flipped
classrooms are streamlined through the cloud. Both models allow for more face-to-face time with
students at the school while they utilize the cloud to access lessons and assignments from home. The
cloud helps to create truly modern, innovative classrooms.

Accessible & Reliable Cloud Services

Cloud computing helps schools to meet data protection obligations to ensure student and employee
information is kept safe. Most cloud providers invest in security measures that provide a base level of
security on their cloud infrastructure. Safety measures utilized in the cloud are easy for users to
navigate. The cloud also offers unprecedented reliability - when devices fail, information is not
always lost as you can store data in the cloud.

Cloud-Based Collaboration

The ability to collaborate effectively with others is imperative for students to master. The cloud
allows all users to have easy access to resources across multiple platforms, creating a strong
foundation for developing collaboration skills. For example, students can collaborate with other
students on an assignment while their teacher provides feedback in real time. Meaningful feedback is
vital in helping students reach their goals. Cloud computing allows for instant feedback and
assessment processes, which benefits both students and teachers simultaneously. The cloud also
breaks through barriers of working within a group - students no longer need to be in the same place
to work on a group project but can access an assignment from any location by the cloud.
