 Cloud Computing - The Economic Imperative
<http://www.eschoolnews.com/media/images/cloudcompute.jpg> 

In the same way a utility company delivers electricity, natural gas, or
water--you sign up, then don't have to think about it any more--cloud
computing delivers IT services to the end user. Advocates of this service
model say it's simpler, faster, and cheaper for organizations to
implement--which is why cloud computing is soaring in popularity amid the
gloomy economy. | Read

Zach Bonner is a smart kid, but he's a bit confused to hear that some adults
still assume students in online schools are somehow worse off and spend all

Key words: online learning, K-12 online learning, virtual learning, distance
learning. | Read

key 21st-century skills. Come check
