Abstract

Technology known as cloud computing makes it possible for users to use computer resources as a service whenever and wherever they need them, including computing power, computing infrastructure, applications, corporate processes, and personal collaboration. Cloud computing makes it possible to connect instructors and students on a single, multipurpose platform. Schools, colleges, and universities no longer need to own and manage their own information technology infrastructure and data centers thanks to cloud computing. Data and resources saved in the cloud are also guaranteed and safeguarded. Many school districts adopt cloud computing solutions as a result of the desire to discover more affordable ways to integrate technology in the classroom. In addition to being less expensive, cloud computing allows for innovative teaching methods and more student engagement. Students who are entirely comfortable with technology and who have grown up with it are essential for the success of cloud computing technologies in the classroom. They easily acclimate to its use in the classroom since they are constantly using cloud-based technology in their personal life. Teachers who may not be as familiar with the potential of cloud-based solutions must receive some instruction and training. Technology can be used in an effective and economical way using cloud computing.
