I think Cloud computing is great for people who need to work "on the road" or at several work locations. It has been cumbersome to email documents from school to my home computer so that I could work at home. Then, after editing the document at home, I had to email it back to school and replace the original version with the edited version. Also, we could only email files, not folders. When I am working on a lesson unit or some other document/project for school, it makes sense to create it at Google Docs.
Does SkyDrive have the option to create new documents at that site? I uploaded two documents to SkyDrive, but couldn't find a way to create a document at SkyDrive, so I went to Google Docs and uploaded the same two documents. I then created a mini-document and saved it at Google Docs.
I am not sure that I would use Cloud tools with students.

At the high school it is the only way for many students to be able to create something at school and share it with a group and work on it outside of school.It has been a great way for us to give students access to their documents.
