CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud
computing is a kind of Internet-based computing that provides shared
processing resources and data to computers and other devices on
demand.
When
we created infographics, we used Piktochart and its infographic
editor uses cloud computing.The same goes for making our own blog and
creating our first post: we used the editor from WordPress. These are
reffered to as cloud computing because we did not need to install any
software in our computer. The software is in the ”cloud” or over
the Internet.
ADVANTAGES
1.
No need to install.
2.
Saves hard disk space.
3.
Easy access to your software/files; can be ran anywhere as long as
there is internet connection.
4.
Saves you money from buying software licenses and additional hard
disk space.
5.
No need to update because it updates automatically
6.
Minimum system requirements.
7.
Back up and data recovery are relatively easier than on physical
device.
DISADVANTAGES
1.
Can be hampered down by slow internet speed;no connection, no cloud
computing.
2.
May still require compatible software like browser.
3.
You do not own the software; you are simply renting it.
4.
Security risk of doing things over the internet as opposed to yur
personal computer alone.
5.
More prone to hacking.
5.
Limited control over insfrastructure itself.

What is the contribution of cloud computing in education?
ReplyDeleteCloud computing ,used as a metaphor for the internet. And cloud computing is really useful in education. You can have an easy access! Lesson plans, labs, grades, notes, PowerPoint slides – just about anything digital that you use in teaching is easily uploaded and accessed anytime.:)
DeleteHi Ma'am Jolina! One of the advantages of Cloud computing is it updates automatically but do you agree that it can be part of disadvantages too? because it's automatic update ENFORCE CHANGE?
ReplyDeleteChristine, nice question :) You know the quotation "Change is the only permanent thing in the world" That is the reason why we must not always depend on internet. We must practice saving files or what ever important things that we create using the applications provided by the cloud computing or internet so that whenever there is an update or change we still have a back up of the files,there is no loss in case. It is not totally a disadvantage but I know there is always a reason behind the updates or changes and for sure it is for the betterment.
DeleteVery well said Mam :)
Deletehi maam, can my files be in private in cloud ?
ReplyDeleteHello MArco! :) When users place their data with cloud computing services, they lose the ability to maintain complete control of that information," said Lillie Coney, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). In other words, even if you're happy with your cloud storage provider, pay attention to the files you're uploading, and keep a back-up of everything on a real hard drive at home.
DeleteMa'am do you think it can be infected by viruses?
ReplyDeleteYes, cloud computing is a metaphor for internet then security for viruses is absolutely weak. That is the reason why it is much better to install anti virus.
DeleteWhen was these first introduced?
ReplyDeleteHello Alfredo! :)
DeleteCloud computing has evolved through a number of phases which include grid and utility computing, application service provision (ASP), and Software as a Service (SaaS). But the overarching concept of delivering computing resources through a global network is rooted in the sixties.
Aside from cloud computing, what are some other internet-based computing that we can manage to use?
ReplyDeleteHello Cesiah! :) Cloud computing, often referred to as simply “the cloud,” is the delivery of on-demand computing resources—everything from applications to data centers—over the Internet on a pay-for-use basis.Platform as a service provides a cloud-based environment with everything required to support the complete lifecycle of building and delivering web-based (cloud) applications—without the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware, software, provisioning, and hosting.So all kinds of platforms are internet-based.
DeleteIs this advisable for us to use, because we all know that the internet in our country is one of the slowest connection in the world?
ReplyDeleteAll kinds of platforms such as facebook,twitter, skype, tumblr etc are supported by a cloud-based environment with everything required to support the complete lifecycle of building and delivering web-based (cloud) applications. Yes it is really advisable!It doesn't matter if country is one of the country with slowest connection.:)
DeleteWould it be that reliable because as we all know, apps or sites that is so easy and convinient to use is more prone in getting hacked? So why we should use this?
ReplyDeleteBecause without this we cant able to run applications in our computer.
DeleteThe degree of security -- whether within cloud-based or on-premises systems -- is determined by two factors. One is the planning and technology that goes into engineering the security solution. The other is the organization's ability to operate systems in proactive and secure ways.The largest threat to security is the lack of qualified cloud developers, engineers, architects, and security experts who understand how to make cloud-based systems secure.
ReplyDeleteone of the disadvantages of cloud computing is the security risks, how can we minimize the risks of our files from hackers?
ReplyDeleteAvoid sharing personal information about your self and always keep or save files as much as possible.

ReplyDeletehi maam! as it is stated, cloud computing has security risks and is more prone to hacking. files/ software might be lost or corrupted. what action should I take during data loss? is there any way to recover those lost data?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure with that but try to search on google. Anyways, practice saving files so that whenever there is a loss you will still have a back up.

ReplyDeleteWhat are other examples of sites with cloud computing?
ReplyDeleteHere are some list of websites which uses cloud computing:
Deletewww.cloudtweaks.com www.searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com www.readwrite.com/cloud
Ma'am is there any suggestion that hacker wouldn't hacked it easily?
ReplyDeleteJust keep your personal files private and always back up everything. Hackers are really great.
DeleteMa'am as a student how will cloud computing help us? is there a connection for example if i will choose computer engineering as my course in college how would it help me?
ReplyDeleteThink how convenient homework assignments will become. The students can work on the cloud, cooperate with team members and share knowledge, and be sure that they won’t leave behind their homework assignments when they go to school. Since they are on the cloud, they can access them anywhere, be it home or school. In other words, cloud computing can democratize education.
Deleteis it possible that cloud computing or other sharing and saving files or resources become useful than the other devices like usb and hard disk??
ReplyDeleteWhen we say cloud computing it is a metaphor of internet. So cloud computing is really important and useful since it helps us in may aspect.
Deletema'am is cloud computing has a fast data recovery??
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but try to search on google.
DeleteDo you use cloud computing yourself? If so, what is your experience with it? Thank you ma'am!
ReplyDeleteYes I used it since cloud computing is the metaphor of Internet. We used internet to access applications and websites. So without cloud computing we have nothing.
DeleteIs cloud computing helps us in our education?
ReplyDeleteCloud computing is really helpful in education.Students and administrative personnel have the opportunity to quickly and economically access various application platforms and resources through the web pages on-demand

ReplyDeleteCloud computing is really helpful in education.Students and administrative personnel have the opportunity to quickly and economically access various application platforms and resources through the web pages on-demand which is included in cloud computing.
DeleteMa'am, Is Cloud Computing are useful for a student like me? How?
ReplyDeleteWithout Cloud Computing, you cannot access different platforms that is the reason why it is really useful to you.
Deleteits so useful because its more effortless and saves storage at the same time
ReplyDeleteYour right. :)

ReplyDeleteHow surely safe that the personal files we keep on cloud computing storage area , will not be damage, or hack?
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying that your files are 100% safe on cloud computing. That is why you must practice backing up your files every time you create for assurance.
DeleteAs you said More prone to hacking ? Is this advisable or safe for us ?
ReplyDeleteAdvisable. Just practice to install anti virus for security.
DeleteIs this advisable for us? Because we all know that there are many hackers.
ReplyDeleteIt is already answered in previous comments.
Deleteit helps , cause clouds make your life easier it helps you to save your pictures without occupied, the storage of your phone..
ReplyDeleteIt there such a thing as a private cloud ?
ReplyDeleteYes. Private cloud is a type of cloud computing that delivers similar advantages to public cloud, including scalability and self-service, but through a proprietary architecture. Unlike public clouds, which deliver services to multiple organizations, a private cloud is dedicated to a single organization.
DeleteTher is many type of Clouds? Or There Many company offered a cloud??
ReplyDeletePublic cloud: In Public cloud the computing infrastructure is hosted by the cloud vendor at the vendor’s premises. The customer has no visibility and control over where the computing infrastructure is hosted. The computing infrastructure is shared between any organizations.
DeletePrivate cloud: The computing infrastructure is dedicated to a particular organization and not shared with other organizations. Some experts consider that private clouds are not real examples of cloud computing. Private clouds are more expensive and more secure when compared to public clouds.
Private clouds are of two types: On-premise private clouds and externally hosted private clouds. Externally hosted private clouds are also exclusively used by one organization, but are hosted by a third party specializing in cloud infrastructure. Externally hosted private clouds are cheaper than On-premise private clouds.
Hybrid cloud Organizations may host critical applications on private clouds and applications with relatively less security concerns on the public cloud. The usage of both private and public clouds together is called hybrid cloud. A related term is Cloud Bursting. In Cloud bursting organization use their own computing infrastructure for normal usage, but access the cloud using services like Salesforce cloud computing for high/peak load requirements. This ensures that a sudden increase in computing requirement is handled gracefully.
You do not own the software; you are simply renting it. Is there nothing permanent?
ReplyDeleteIf you can develop one software then you have your own ^_^
Deletecan cloud computing be a way for the teachers to communicate with the students?
ReplyDeleteYes. Because cloud computing supports the platforms that we use to interact with our teachers.
Deletema'am where do we usually use this cloud computing?
ReplyDeleteWe can use it in every sites or application that we use.
DeleteAre there any other types of cloud? And is it friendly to use?
ReplyDeletePublic cloud: In Public cloud the computing infrastructure is hosted by the cloud vendor at the vendor’s premises. The customer has no visibility and control over where the computing infrastructure is hosted. The computing infrastructure is shared between any organizations.
DeletePrivate cloud: The computing infrastructure is dedicated to a particular organization and not shared with other organizations. Some experts consider that private clouds are not real examples of cloud computing. Private clouds are more expensive and more secure when compared to public clouds.

DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAs a student, this can only help us at our home activities. We can't use this on seatworks,quizzes and exams because using mobile phones is practically banned while doing these.
ReplyDeleteMa'am what do you think is better, cloud computing or hard drives/flash drives?
ReplyDeleteCloud Computing is a metaphor of internet. This means that cloud computing is really important. Flash drives is just a storage.
DeleteMa'am is the cloud computing somewhat related to the i think iCloud if i am not mistaken where you could save all your files instead in your desktop?
ReplyDeleteYes icloud is supported by cloud computing.
DeleteIs cloud computing can be infected with virus? How strong its security system?
ReplyDeleteYes. It depends on the developer. For your own safety always install anti virus software to avoid this malicious viruses.
