[ Cloud Computing ] eyeOS and cloud computing in education

eyeOS team has recently implemented Cloud computing in a school of Catalonia (Spain). 600 students work everyday with a personal laptop connected to a eyeOS-server.

Key points of this implementation are:

- Laptops have a Light Operative System developed by eyeOS that opens a navigator and connects to the server (similar to gos Cloud)
- Students and teachers access to office applications, files, educational resources, messaging, ... using eyeOS.
- All users can access to the School desktop from anywhere, outside their school.
- Used by students from 3 to 17 years old. Every age has a customized desktop. Early ages only with icons.
- Teachers have special administration applications for the class. For instance an "Exam mode", that blocks some programs.
- System administration and laptops OS maintenance tasks are done from the server.
