Abstract
Cloud Computing can be a key driver for innovation and transformation in learning and teaching. The School on the Cloud network, consisting of 57 partners from multiple disciplines in 18 European countries, aims to explore this technology to find new dynamic ways of delivering education. One key result published thus far analyses 59 existing good-practice case studies exploring the impact of the Cloud on personalized learning for pupils with special needs. It also discusses how teachers can use new technologies as a value added component in inclusive education.
