Get your Head in the Cloud!

It’s all about the save!

Hi there, I’m Mrs. Cote—Ms. Clerkin’s student teacher in the library from Simmons College.

So tell me…Do you know the difference between saving to the cloud versus saving locally to your device?  The difference is HUGE and can have a big impact on your work!  If you break or lose your iPad, having your work on the cloud can save you from near catastrophe!

In order to clear up some confusion, I created an infographic(fyi infographic is just a fancy way of saying a graphic with information on it!). Here it is:

 

In collaboration with grade 6 Tech Literacy teacher Mrs. McCrary (thank you Mrs. McCrary for inviting us into your classroom!) and Library Teacher Ms. Clerkin, I used the infographic to teach students all about saving to the "cloud". They learned a lot! After discussing the infographic as a class, students used the Explain Everything APP to demonstrate what they learned. In 20 minutes, their task was to use any tool within the APP to show me they knew the difference between saving the cloud and saving locally.

Check out some of their presentations—they worked so hard and, I was impressed by their creativity!

So….  what did YOU learn from the infographic?  Anything new?  Anything surprising?  Will you take that extra step to upload your files to Google Drive?
