The Input aims to show the implications of Cloud Computing for learning and working and will discuss how schools’ ICT concepts and media competences might look like. But local, affordable solutions will be considered as well. Particularly in the absence of the financial means necessary to purchase expensive hardware and networks, local solutions could be favoured. For these purposes the School for Teacher Education at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland has developed the "Lernstick".

2. How can we make sure every student has access to media and IT education?

6. Consequences Cloud Computing needs a good network and not a luxurious PC. Personal Learning Environments (PLE) can be realised on a server, via a network connection or on a Live System like the Lernstick, working on a Mac or PC. It is easier for students do work on their homework on a PLE. If the network isn't accessible from outside the school, a Lernstick could help as local solution. The local Live System is effective, available and affordable: Access for all students!

9. primary school high school Do you like working with the Lernstick? Yes, very much I like it Not so much Not at all

14. teaching with the Lernstick communicating with parents Statements of teachers „ Don't let yourself feel overwhelmed by the flood of information the Lernstick confronts you with. At the beginning you will think „this is incredible“. I soon began to limit myself, since a large portion of the applications is directed at older students.“ (Primary school teacher, years 3-4). „ I could have saved myself a lot of phone conversations, if I had provided information about the Lernstick to parents from the beginning and if I had given students the handbook as well as the Lernstick-DVD to take home.“ (Primary school teacher and person in charge of ICT, years 3-4)
