Cloud computing and online education in rural areas

At first glance, cloud computing and rural universal education are not related at all, do not amorites, completely cannot pull together. In fact, there is a deep connection between the two. Why?


you know, the city's sky is always gray, breathing is not smooth, not like the countryside, blue sky and white clouds, refreshing and pleasant. The rural area is vast, the population is dispersed, but the total amount is very large, all kinds of resources are also very dispersed, this objective fact and cloud computing catch up with the world. But not all people have this forward-looking vision. Spain's southwest is a vast rural area, the economy is not very developed, just a few weeks ago, the region began to implement a grand plan to explore cloud computing in rural areas of education for the practical application of the universal significance. This message, once spread, was immediately reproduced by the global thousands of media, causing widespread concern.


, the "cloud computing and rural online education" project, is being implemented by the in center in southwestern Spain, sponsored by the U.S. HP Company. The aim of the program is to use cloud computing as a means to enable the vast rural primary and secondary schools in the region to share, learn all available educational resources (including teachers) and to make most of them free from the scarce IT resources in the region. This is a bold research project that makes cloud computing useful to rural primary and secondary schools anywhere in the world. The cloud computing tools they use are open source Eyeos cloud computing platforms.


a few weeks ago, in the first phase of implementing the plan, he organized "face-to-face" technical training for faculty members to master the basic skills of Eyeos cloud computing, understand how cloud computing works, and how to work together in teaching, such as how to share teaching plans online, How to share teaching resources (e.g., picture data), how to correct students ' homework online, how to communicate with students online, and so on, for them, these online teaching experiences are entirely new things that have never been thought of in the past and have opened their eyes. In short, cloud computing is no longer an abstraction, but a very realistic educational technology for the instructor who accepts this "face-to-face" training.


We can imagine that no matter where the cloud computing Center is located, anyone can benefit from it through the Internet. For example, we are free to watch the homepage of the official website of the program http://nube.cesga.es, (note: Nube is the meaning of the Spanish cloud) as long as we can get an account, we are free to observe and learn.


now, back in our country, although the country is big, but we have plans. Just imagine that in a certain part of the country Shenzhen Super Computing Center, the establishment of a rural universal education of the cloud, then, the country's vast rural areas of primary and secondary schools can benefit from the advantages of cloud computing, the formation of a variety of virtual teaching environment, teachers and students all day in which quench dancing and singing (Soviet Hagi). Our rural offspring are also our darling, let them sit in front of the computer screen to see the modern cloud to bring their online interactive gift (incredibly real), not only "gray taro, pleasant goat" TV cartoons, not the Japanese savage game.


Illustration 1: Some people play "computer to go to the Countryside" banner, Dafa Peasant's wealth, too wicked, this is tantamount to directly from the hands of the farmers Rob money. Don't forget, the farmers are raising us.


NOTE 2: Sorry, reader friend, I have some words did not directly say out, presumably you can experience (the initiative to evacuate the computer desktop, to seize the internet cloud computing heights, that is, strategic transfer). Thanks a lot!
