Mr. O World History Classroom in the Cloud Content Units Page

Cloud Computing & Curricular Content

Cloud Computing represents the new paradigm of technology access and application that is revolutionizing the way in which we harness the power of the internet, utilize web based tools and find solutions in an environment that is distributive, powerful and open to all. The traditional units of study are going to be accessible through the cloud, utilizing the distributed computing power of the web to deliver the most effective content efficiently and allowing for the student to interact with the material and be held accountable in a way that is transparent, open and reinforcing.

World History in the Cloud

All of the curricular units that we will study this year will be in digital form and accessible on the world wide web via multiple entryways. You will use Moodle as a classroom interface, but you will also use this website, as well as Schoology, eBackpack and the district eboards. There will be no single repository for your work. Rather, we will take advantage of the distributed computing power of the internet to create the most powerful learning environment ever conceived by man. This year in World History, your readings, worksheets and projects will come primarily from the Classroom Cloud. You will be able to read documents with links to video clips, animations or other graphics that help explain the reading. You will have online questions, both subjective and objective, that you will answer and return to the teacher online through the Cloud. You will have tests and quizzes that you will complete in the Cloud. This opens up a new world of 24/7 interactivity that will make school and learning something that is a major part of your on-the-go life.
