The main challenge is technical: teachers must understand how to use the cloud. It is not so easy at it seems. Teachers must understand the improvement communication may have by using the cloud. The possibility to have everything you need for your job everywhere, at anytime on any device.

The main challenge is also created by organization: ​the administrator of the cloud must be on the very forefront, he must do, think and know anything to get the project start and develop. Once everyone has understood how to use the cloud and the administrator has developed it, the cloud could innovate schools.

# data[].attributes.body
I like it. This course opening new ways

The main problem for us is authentication management. In order to authenticate the users, many cloud systems require an email account for registration, while by the law, children under 14 years of age are not allowed to register any email account.

# data[].attributes.body
We use some of the apps shown in the video, and our challenge is to' have almost alla the teachers using them

# data[].attributes.body
I currently use some of those referred in video. The main challenge to implement cloud technology in our school should be the training/formation process of all the intervenients in the process.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge is to improve the network infrastructure. Its development along with a team of teachers who defend its use in education would allow a positive development

# data[].attributes.body
in our school, the main obstacle would be the resources needed for training the teachers to use cloud technology as some of the teachers might have difficulties learning to to use cloud technology.

# data[].attributes.body
The main problem is getting time to give training to staff. The Principal needs to be fully on board with all advances  in Cloud to run it successfully.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school, main challenge would be in out of the school. Not all the students have mobile devices for their own usage. Thus, this could be a problem to include all the students for the cloud.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some challenges that we encounter in my school: slow internet connection, old computers , teachers abilities.

The main challenge (technical or not) that you find when integrating is the wifi
In my school the signal from the internet has a day that is very slow.
No cabling, we use routers.
It is new and we are still adapting to new knowledge.
This course is opening horizons and new ways to use tools that help.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge we encounter when using cloud in our school is the difficulties of the teachers with technolog

# data[].attributes.body
Our main challenge is to put technology at work. First, the connection. Second, the devices. Third, the ability to use those services. These are very tough challenges we're trying to address.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenges are focused at colleagues that do not want or afraid to use IT applications, number of computers at school that are not enough for all students, lack of wifi infrastructure, students that do not own a computer at home and finally legal issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Our main concern about cloud computing refers to the Internet speed as we use it in every day use, both for course management and class work. And also for resources reservation

# data[].attributes.body
Our main isses with cloud services are concerns regarding privacy and the connection speed we have as a school with more than 1000 pupils

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge is the different speed in the learning curve of students (fast) and teachers (not that fast), but the benefits are clear when working in a co-operative way

# data[].attributes.body
I can use cloud services at work, in fact I use them every day... but only for didactical purpouses, not for assessment or class/school management. The principal obstacle in this last case is the data protection and other rules that worried me.
Talking about technical aspects, I see that without a clear school policy, teachers use those services at their own risk: different brands or companies, no security plans, difficulties with sensitive data,... I hope in the near future my school (and other), have an structured plan for integrate ICT and cloud services in the day a day life of the institution.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school we proposed to the direction of the implementation of office 365, for education, or Google Suite for education, but since there was no interest on the part of the direction to implement the systems, the teachers use among themselves, and with their students, the services Google drive and / or Dropbox

# data[].attributes.body
The various cloud services are the way to go.
Yes. you are dependent on a good internet line and the skills of the teacher but more importantly, you do not need to worry about program updates etc. GAFE is wonderful but don't forget about resources such as Kahoot and Plickers. these make teaching and learning fun.
Students love on-line quizzes ... in particular when they are competing either against each other and / or against the clock.
Some of the resources that are predocminatly used in rimary schools are wonderful for fun classes in secondary schools (e.g first years (c.13 year olds)). Try www.eastoftheweb.com, go to wordsearch games and watch the reaction of a group of kids who join the same class group. You can help the weak child get points and no one else notices .... by the way, wait for the reaction when the game is over .... priceless!

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge that I was encountered when I had Integrating cloud service in my school infrastructure was about difficult and poor ICT skills and participation of teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that introducing cloud services in teaching is a useful way to increase the opportunity of learning for my students even though they haven't the possibility at school to use a personal computer connected to the web. Most of them, on the contrary, have a mobile device like a smartphone which allows them to stay connected 24 hours a day. So the teacher can send them any kind of files or links to support the learning related to the topics of the actual lesson

# data[].attributes.body
In our school we use Two e-learning platforms ( Edmodo and Fidenia) for cooperative learning , flipped classroom and for parallele tests.
Until last year only the secondary first level school use these methodology, this school year the primary school has beganned to use a virtual classroom(4-5 classroom).

# data[].attributes.body
Nice video...Cloud services is realy usefull in education

# data[].attributes.body
The benefits are the possibility to work on the same project at school and at home at the same time: this is good for example when students live far or in the country or they are ill. Students can work in a cooperative way. The big problem is that my school has got very old computers and connection problems.

# data[].attributes.body
There are a lot of challenges. Technical problems, skeptical colleagues, talented children, clouding as powerful tool .. But clouding is certainly great opportunity for all students and teachers!

# data[].attributes.body
The benefits from using cloud services in School are a lot.I mostly use Google Drive and Dropbox but unfortunately not many teachers use cloud services

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge with the cloud services we have is when we can't access them or the connection is slow and unusable. This thankfully never happen for too long.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge is to collaborate with collegues and students.

# data[].attributes.body
I use e-learning platform everyday and the main challenge is to involved my skeptical class colleagues and two children's parents who still seem not supporting me in that educational approach

# data[].attributes.body
I use cloud services nearly everyday with my students. They appreciate it (almost as much as me) because it is the most efficient channel to share docs, to implement coop.work and to communicate. However, not all of them are familiar with these apps because they simply don´t have the necessary hardware at home. It becomes a challenge for some to catch up with the ICT due to their lack of means or knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
When giving access to pupils, or allocating email addresses, it would be important to get agreement from parents. When implementing something like ePortfolios, who can moderate discussions or publish comments would also need to be considered. Another point might be ensuring that pupils have access to the internet when not in school, so they can collaborate and work independently when not in the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge is to push teachers and students who does not believe in technical support to the learning process and are not at all prepared to learn how it can improve.

# data[].attributes.body
When pupils dont have connections on net it is not used at home.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenges are getting teachers onboard and training them to be confident to carry out a project with a class. Secondly not all students have equal access or opportunity to access cloud services at home (not as much as we think sometimes).

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge for me in my school is represented by weak  (2 Mbps) internet connection and the old devices. I've to say also that many of my colleagues show a certain opposition to the introduction of ICT innovation.

# data[].attributes.body
Two main challenges. First the internet connection of our school  is not very reliable and can become very slow or non-existent at times. Second computers are not available to all students so cloud services are reduced to teacher using them only.

# data[].attributes.body
In our school we are using the most part of the presented tools (Google Apps, Edmodo, Thinglink, Padlet...) but the main challenge we have to face is that too few of us are regularly using them. We are spending time and energies to train our colleagues, but it's very difficult to persuade them about the utility of cloud services, and in general about effectiveness of ICT in teaching

# data[].attributes.body
very interesting this video... perhaps because I was able to understand. the main challenge that my school had encountered was the insufficient network infrastructure. today, thanks to EU funding, we can use a good Internet connection. the most important benefit of using the cloud is
the large amount of free tools for teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I have introduced 2.0 web tools  and Cloud services in my school since I am the institute responsible for ICT innovation in teaching and learning or AD. I really believe in the benefits of using these tools in class and also in school departments. They favour collaboration, creativity, and sharing and they also reduce costs and time in accomplishing tasks and projects. I have also succeeded in persuading many colleagues of the advantages of using them through constant training and tutoring, planning afternoon workshops during which teachers can prepare their own lessons or activities with me as a trainer supporting them. Now this has become a peer to peer lab where teachers exchange ideas and suggestions. I am also the G Suite for edu admin and I am training my school colleagues to use it. More and more teachers are engaged in using technology in class and they have won their resistance and fear. The problem is the wifi connection that should be implemented.

# data[].attributes.body
Our school use Office 365. Evidently there are a lot of good reasons to incomporate cloud computing at school. I think that first of all we have to design and establish the plan. The main challenge for our school is to change minds of staff to try something new.

# data[].attributes.body
Conectivity issues are almost solved, so the main challenge is to foster teachers to use all the G Suite applications. Most of the students work easily with them but teachers have more problems, so training is needed.​

# data[].attributes.body
Cloud services are applicable in schools. I am using One Drive and Google Drive in  teaching. But there are many problems with school infrastructure. For a future Microsoft Office 365 would be the implemented...

# data[].attributes.body
In my school, the use of cloud services has already started to be done by some of the teachers, for example with the creation of tests, using google forms, which are now improved and that easily allows us to build tests with classification of the answers made by students

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge is to get users to engage with the various applications, particularly if they are familiar with other non-cloud alternatives e.g we are using Google Docs in school but certain staff members have a fixation on using Office products

Why Cloud services in School?

Thank you Teresita for you video it was clear and interesting. It is always nice to hear about what is happening it other schools around the world. The project you showed is very interesting and it is possible to take your project and use the process for all kind of projects.

Some of my teachers have been using all kinds of cloud computing f.ex. Padlet, Prezi, Google applications, Dropbox, Showbie and etc.

I think Cloud Technologies are very important in educational process. They provide collaborative space for students and they can reach their resources from each device - tablet, smartphone, PC, laptop. They can also be used for making better connections with students' parents and help those who have some learning difficulties f.x. using Voice typing /input in Google docs and using Drive for sharing workbooks (pdf) and some extension make it easy for students to use the computer for writing text to the pages.

Our main challenges using the Cloud computing is the Privacy. Our students are young and many of the cloud based software have the age limit of 13 years. Also new laws for Privacy protection for under age children are not allowing us to put any information to the cloud services. We have to work and learn much more about security and if and how we are allowed to use the cloud in our school with the support of our community and IT department.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Teresita for your interesting and clear video!

I use with my students Dropbox, Padlet and Google applications. Instead of Edmodo we have a Moodle platform and it is very useful for collaborative work.

I’ve not started yet using thinglink, Prezi, and Storify but I’m going to try it.
I'm sure that cloud services implements the collaborative learning and the communication between the students.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the main challenge when integrating external services is the atittude of the others towards these services. This is also the main reason why our school doesn't already use Cloud. Hopefully, these reluctant atittudes will soon change.

# data[].attributes.body
The real challenge is to change minds: I agree.  It will take several years, but the teachers have to improve the use of technology. The students use the devices when they are babies and devices are a part of their life. I use technology with my students and they study more willingly.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Teresita for your informative video, I got many good ideas when listening. I think like many others her on the Padlet have mentioned that the main barrier for using cloud storage are the teachers. They need  training to use it by themselves and they have to feel that they are safe using it before they are willing to try it with their students. They have to be aware of how simple and timesaving it can be to change their teaching habits. It is also a good contribution to the debate about the environment to save paper or trees using paperless communication/collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge is the connectivity in some schools. Fortunately in my school have a good connectivity. Some students have difficulty organizing documents in the cloud.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenges are of a different type, but one that you need to overcome it is the connection, it is often unstable and does not support the data traffic; then it will be important the teacher's training!

# data[].attributes.body
The cloud allows different occasions and higher learning and teamwork way more intense. I believe that the use of cloud services implements the collaborative learning and the communication between the students. The major problem is that the teachers have not enough knowledge about these technologies and so it is difficult to adopt these educational techniques. The main challenge in the school is to change minds, leave the blackboard and copybooks and try to use computers or tablets.

# data[].attributes.body
I found the work very interesting temperatures. We use Google drive to work in small groups and make some projects using cloud tools for conceptual maps, posters ... But we work in one hour weekly or difficult to relate class areas.
We also use digital books. Is are in the cloud.

# data[].attributes.body
Me too I agree with some colleagues, that the main challenge is to change minds.

Unfortunately In my school we are few teachers to use the cloud; I try to convince my colleagues to use it to share reports, homework, lessons  so we have all the material always available and we can save time... but it's exhausting!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with some colleagues, that the main challenge is to change minds. Every year we have a trainings about new methodologies and only few teachers use them.

# data[].attributes.body
There were no special challenges, when we integrated Google Drive in our school infrastructure. For now we only use Drive among teachers. We have shared documents like:

- Suggests and updates for ICT equipment, in which every teacher can suggest what he needs for better teaching.

- Reservation of computer lab, so that every teacher can see, when computer lab is free or occupied.

- Reservation for tablets, which students can use in classrooms,

- Students grading monthly plan

- Short project descriptions for current school year

-  Attendance at lectures plan

- Teachers education plan

# data[].attributes.body
As well as  some colleagues have written   ,the main challenge in schools is to change minds,  many teachers do not accept innovation  stay rooted to the old methodologies is more comfortable and less tiring.
I normally use with my pupils  Padlet, but con some colleague of platform eTwinning or course on line  I  have used and use use: Google, Padlet, Prezi, Edmond etc... These App are really interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge is to convince people not to "have" everything (which is  not a secondary problem). Moreover there is the problem of digital divide with students...
Technically i think there is not such a big problem...

# data[].attributes.body
There are many good reasons to integrate cloud services at school, as the video showed, but the main challenge in my school is to change minds, leave the blackboard and copybooks and try to use computers or tablets. Teachers should train using computers. But we mainly need a proper and well functioning Internet connection and change all the obsolete computers.

# data[].attributes.body
From the point of teachers, the main challenge is  the reluctance to use modern tools that require specialized knowledge on computers.
Also students mention the lack of computers at school, or at home.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge that I a=encouter is tachers' traing

# data[].attributes.body
Probably the main challenge is unstable internet connection. It would not be possible to store, access and collaborate on the cloud services without it. Another issue that could not be ignored how the data on the clouds, although free, is secure. Probably, there will be more challenges during the process of migration, but I am optimist that it will be worth.

# data[].attributes.body
The cloud allows different occasions and higher learning and teamwork way more intense.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the main challenge is in my opinion, that it has to be always possible to use the cloud. Either for the teachers, which is the smaller problem, and also all the students.
So if there aren't enough machines in the school it can be a little problematic to use cloud-solutions as an main tool in the class.
On the other hand you can use clouds just as an storage tool, so the students always have the possibility to get on their documents an informations.

# data[].attributes.body
Internet speeds are poor and management of the various devices that are brought to school are major challenges. The benefits though outweigh the disadvantages. Collaborative learning and flipped classroom is made possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Cloud computing is useful and easy to collaborate with colleagues as well as students, students learn new digital skills about using ICT while doing assignments. It is available whenever and wherever.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the use of cloud services implements the collaborative learning and the communication between the students. The major problem is that the teachers have not enough knowledge about these technologies and so it is difficult to adopt these educational techniques.

# data[].attributes.body
I use GAFE in my teaching but the very problem is with my colleagues: their very resistant to use apps or GAFE in their teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge in my school is the students' laptops. These laptops are obsolete and we usually have many problems with them. Students can not work quickly. In addition, operating systems (windows xp) can not be updated, so every day we have more compatibility problems with different apps and digital tools. On the other hand, our computering classroom has 12 old computers (also with windows xp) that don't allow us to work easily.

# data[].attributes.body
The benefits deriving from using Google Services in School are: a) lower cost, b) enhancing social skills, learning skills, digital learning skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Obviously there are a lot of good reasons to integrate cloud computing in the school. I think that first of all we have to design how are we going to do that. We need to establish a plan.

We have to review the network infrastructure and make any necessary improvements (if needed) to support all the connections.

Then we have to explain and train teachers (according to their skills level).

Some of them will see this as an opportunity to improve their classes. Others, will see it as something that would complicate too much classes. We are afraid to innovate when we are not familiar with tools. So I think that training and the further support are fundamental so that the teachers are not discouraged with the use.

The next step would be to adapt the schedules to the new work tools

And finally start working with cloud computing services in our classes.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge in my school is to change minds. Leave the blackboard and the paper to use the computer and cloud services is the main challenge to my colleagues at school. How can transform this reality? Is the main question than steel i have.

# data[].attributes.body
I normally use all the apps presented in the video above . I  didn't appreciated Edmdo very much . I prefer
google classroom with all the apps offered by google for education. I use also Socrative and of course the eTwinning platform where you can embed all the applications mentioned above and interact and collaborate with students, teachers and parents as well. At school the big challenge is to have a proper and well functioning internet connection. Privacy is also an other challenge if you want to get the work of your pupils to be known by a wide audience

# data[].attributes.body
Cloud Services are important in school because facilitates collaboration between students and teachers. Students can share and store material and prepare presentations but they are exposed to the public. Excellent services for European projects.

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant cloud computing benefit is the cost saving. I think that the challenge is , like Carmen Aldama said, to involve teachers and families, to have internet connection. Intergratingn external services in our infrastucture should give to everyone the possibility to shar documents, to work collaboratively, to organize the own class and to communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
Cloud Technologies are very important in educational process. They provaid collaborative space for students and they can reach their resources from each device - tablet, smartphone, PC, laptop.

Like the other teachers from Greece, I would also like to point out the challenge of internet connection!

# data[].attributes.body
Moodle a CMS, open source does exactly what Teresita illustrated in her video. You could check the activities of your students,
you could create lessons, change of material , the students could communicate with their teacher and so on.
The main difference is that you are the administrator, you can adapt your environment to your need.

# data[].attributes.body
I use Google Drive, Dropbox, Padlet, thinglink.
I used Edmodo but I dislike it.

I agree with Alexandros, it's very nice to have availability and plan a lesson with cloud tools and opportunity to end up in a day wth very limited or no internet connection at all!

I used padlet and google for some collaborative activities between adults - teachers. Not for working with children.

# data[].attributes.body
For me the biggest challenge is the internet connection speed and the connection availability. You can plan a lesson with cloud tools and end up in a day with very limited or no internet connection at all

# data[].attributes.body
I use Dropbox, Prezi, and Padlet but I will study the possibilities of thinglink, Edmodo, Google aplications and Storify.
Thank you Teresita, I loved that worksheet shared and worked by students, it's a great idea.
With my older boys there is no problem but sometimes the parents of the younger ones put difficulties in the use of the children in the network.

# data[].attributes.body
I use  Edmodo for my classes. I store files there and my students can reach them easily.

# data[].attributes.body
In my experience one of the main challenges is teachers training. And  also  is getting staff to try something new. It can take a while to get comfortable with a new application so getting a chance to see what the uses are and having an opportunity for training is key.

# data[].attributes.body
A really interesting and clear video!!!
In my school the only cloud service used is the one for the electronic register. I'd really like working with new instruments like the ones presented, but I think that it won't be possible soon as a lot of my colleagues aren't so inclined in using technology. Just today they finally installed the LIM in my class this year and have implemented the wifi network. I hope that soon I will be able to use the opportunities of cloud service !!!

# data[].attributes.body
Good internet - now have 1GB fiber - less is problematic.
Enough devices for students and staff to be able easily to be online when needed.
Ignorance - both staff and students.

The main technical challenge for integrating external services (Cloud) in school is that we need an upgrade to Internet bandwidth and the other challenge is to train teachers in the use of services in the cloud.

I think the main challenge is getting staff to try something new. It can take a while to get comfortable with a new application so getting a chance to see what the uses are and having an opportunity for training is key.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there are several challenges:

- It makes us absolutely dependent on the Internet connection. This connection is getting better, specially with fiber connection, but for example, in computers using wifi sometimes is not so good.
- When they use documents in collaborative way, they have to be aware about revision historial, because they get confuse when there are some people using the same document.
- It is more simple if there are a group of teachers using the same tools, because the learning time decreases for each subject, and students take profit of what they learned with the same tool in different subjects.
- Some cloud tools appear and disappear (for example titanpad, dipity, etc...) with the problem of materials created in them that you can't export. Again, when you externalize  a service, you become more vulnerable.

# data[].attributes.body
First, the signal speed for the internet connection. Then, "time to change the mind" ;) because some
teachers do not have the necessary skills. Fortunately, in our school, most of them are working about this because the have seen it's very useful but this will take some time to get it.

# data[].attributes.body
Student data should be managed by the school admin function. All that is needed to facilitate a student using google classroom or EDMODO is an email address. If you use the compliance system in Gsuite and monitor the student use it provides strong protection. Also you can restrict student accounts for internal use and provide a whitelist of acceptable external domains, Padlet, EDMODO, Khan etc. No student data need be processed between students and /or teachers on Gsuite and thus we stay private. The Admin function can be run on a school server and not integrate or interface with GSuite. You provison GSuite from uploading CSV files and we do this annually for new entrants of approx 150 students. It takes about 1 hour once you have the input data on CSV which can be downloaded from the school admin function.but not interfaced through an API or from the LDAP system.

As soon as my little students will be autonomous in reading and in the organization of their work, I will use these certain applications of their value in teaching-learning processes.

Most challenging is reliable WiFi when more people use it. Next is then data privacy and sustainability of used services (will be the cloud service to use next year too?)

Aligning appropriately in terms of pedagogy for staff as opposed to a tool in the classroom. Aside from this reliable WiFi remains the biggest challenge encountered

I use GAFE in my teaching but also all the softwares presented in the video and many others more, students enjoy a lot working by them, the problem is with my colleagues, some of them are very resistant to use apps or GAFE in their teaching.
