What is the Cloud? "The Cloud" is simply a way to access your information, apps, storage, calendar, e-mail, etc by using a web-based "Cloud" service that can be easily accessed by most any computer or many current web-enabled handheld devices.
This fall the Harper Creek schools started implementing "Google Apps for Education," which are free Google applications for such uses as word-processing, spreadsheets, online storage of files, presentations and much more!
To log into the Harper Creek version of Google Apps go to the "Google Apps" link on the district or building web pages and click to access a special log-in page. You can bookmark this page for easy future access. Then just log in with your Harper Creek e-mail and you can start using the Google Drive, which feature easy online storage and access to the various Google applications.

Another free online "Cloud-based" service for those who use Apple computers and devices, such as iPads, MacBooks and iMacs is the Apple iCloud service. If you have an Apple login account, you can log into iCloud using any web browser and on many current devices like iPads and access iCloud storage, mail, contacts, Reminders, Pages (word-processing), Numbers (Spreadsheets) and Keynote (presentations) for free!
