Cloud Computing: Will Schools Play Along?

Check out the video concerning Dropbox that was recently highlighted on TechCrunch.

With tools like this Districts had better position themselves for bandwidth, bandwidth, and... yep, more bandwidth.

The more tools like Google Docs, Zoho, Flickr, etc. are storing stuff for you (a.k.a. cloud computing) the less storage space Districts should need, right?
Now this calls out questions about e-discovery rules, privacy, and security. You wouldn't want confidential files to accidentally get saved to your "cloud" like Dropbox.
Even deleting it doesn't delete it!

The possibilities are exciting, yet scary at the same time. I'd hate to be a technology director these days... oh wait!!!!
