Cloud computing is a term that refers to storing and accessing your data (documents, presentations, bookmarks, etc.) online so that you can access them from any computer in any location. Many web 2.0 tools offer a cloud computing service, often for free, that allow you access to your data without having to use a flash drive, CD, or other tool to store and carry it with you.Throughout the class, you are going to learn about and use many tools in the Cloud. Let's learn what Cloud Computing is all about.
