Week 8 Cloud Computing

It is nice to have a better understanding of how online shopping, online meetings, RSS feeds etc. works. I had just recently heard the term, "cloud computing," and had no idea what it meant. Now, with this week's lesson, I have some idea. Of the examples listed in this week's lesson, the items I find that will be most helpful may be Google docs and doing a calendar using Google. The calendar is something I had thought about before where I could keep a calendar for the scheduled classes in the library. It would be a calendar that teachers could consult when they want to bring their classes to the library and note the dates that are still available. Now what I need to figure out is how to embed the calendar into the library's webpage. The other resource I reviewed was Dropbox; it sounds interesting but it seems like it does some of the same things as Google docs, Google presentation, etc. More research on my part is needed.
