Abstract
This article introduces the authors’ experiences to prepare teacher education students to use and integrate cloud resources into teaching. First, it will summarize the definition of “cloud computing” and introduce some cloud resources. Second, it will demonstrate some specific widely-used cloud tools for teaching and learning. Finally, introduced will be the authors experiences in an advanced technology integration course in which teacher education students (a) evaluated the quality of some cloud resources/tools, and (b) designed technology integration case project with the cloud tools using instructional design theories and models. Tips, cautions, and some common issues in using those cloud tools will be discussed. Quality analysis of the tools will be presented, as well as some excellent design samples.
