TLT CoffeeRead for October 7: Future of cloud computing discussed
TLT CoffeeReads take a look at educational technology in the media, from Penn State to around the world. Innovations at other schools, education and technology issues, new products and services, and other news are among subjects covered. These are designed to get people thinking and talking about how the articles relate to what we are doing here at Penn State in teaching and learning with technology.
