Whether we are using Google Apps for Education Tools, a Student Information System, a Learning Management System, or digital lockers like DropBox, we are surrounded by the cloud. Educators and parents need to be informed of what is okay to put on the cloud and what might not be the best use of cloud services understanding the role of privacy and protection. Check out this infographic for further explanation.
