Why Aren’t More School Districts Using the Cloud?

School districts come in all sizes and most of them seem to build their own applications and systems. Web 2.0 and the browser as a platform really opens the door to lots of low-cost, specialized, nearly free or subscription-based tools that could really help schools improve their productivity.

In June, one such provider, School Dude, asked me to speak to some of their customers and write a white paper: Software as a Service in Education: Doing More for Less, Faster. They have a great reputation and provide some very useful tools. This is a sponsored white paper (just so you know), however, it has practical advice from technology leaders in three school districts about why they decided to “trust the cloud” with practical tips about what to look for.

Enjoy!
