I'll admit, I am learning WAY more than I ever thought I would learn about emerging technologies from this ETEC 647 class. When I think of emerging technologies, I think of technologies like smartboard, iPad, tablets and the other technologies I am already pretty familiar with but little did I know, there are a WHOLE LOT of emerging technologies that I have no idea about.
Cloud computing is the current topic we are learning. Sound simple? Not quite. We were provided with some resources to read through & some videos to watch that describe what cloud computing is and it's purpose but it is still quite a concept to grasp. I mean, I am familiar with google docs and dropbox but I didn't know they were considered "cloud softwares". I know after this assignment I'll be much more knowledgeable on this subject. That is what I love about this class, I seriously learn something new every week!
Isn't it amazing how fast technology changes? Just last year Cloud Computing was not included as a topic in this class... Cloud technology has been around for a while, but now it's gaining steam very quickly and seems a very consequential technology that everyone has to consider in some way.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your team's discussion on the topic!
