This course will introduce educators to the concept of “cloud computing” and the use of open source applications to establish their own presence on the web for purposes of professional development and collaboration. Participants will establish their web presence with the creation of an online home site. Course activities will then follow that promote online collaboration in creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Participants will complete the course by linking their online workspaces and documents to their home-site for future access and regulated sharing. Through the design of the online course, students will collaborate and share ideas in a community of practice throughout the experience.
