This article talks about how the cloud is at the early stages.

This is a really good link that describes how cloud computing works."Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet." This link also goes into detail about the different types of cloud computing and how it is being used.

This article contains a section that specifically discusses geopolitics. This article, similar to many others found, says that overseas manufacturing facilities could become obsolete, bringing production back to countries that tend to import many goods. Also, 3D printing would allow for less developed countries to obtain goods that are currently not available to them.

This is a really insightful article Josh. I learned many things about 3D printing that I didn't know before.

A school in Dothan, Atlanta has just approved a plan to provide iPads for students in grades 4-12. Mobile learning has been running rampant across schools.

This article discusses the role that open content has on schools, the improvements that open content has on learning, and the vast amount of knowledge that students and teachers now can obtain.

This document will help you understand what schools that have the open content, like the MIT are providing for students.

Provides an overview of the remote lab and gives information about specific universities' labs.

This is an article that states how 3D printing can help in a classroom. It details how a 3D model can provide hands on learning for students, and is a great way to get students interested in the subject matter.

In reading this article I discovered some of the negative traits of virtual labs. Obviously it is not as hands on as a traditional lab. This may be an issue for some of the more visual learners. There can also be time and place restrictions when it comes to the virtual labs.

This article discuses many of the advantages to using a virtual lab rather than going through the motions of a traditional lab. Virtual labs are generally less expensive, allowing more schools to benefit their students. The labs have also been shown to help explain the process and science behind the lab in a understandable way to students trying to learn. Although it does mention that virtual labs should not be completely take over. The article says that these labs should really be used to "enforce" the information.
