In schools and even in the colleges, the traditional education system is applied which is proved useless many years ago. Nowadays the classroom teaching is changing and students are becoming more technology oriented and therefore in his changing environment, it’s important that we think about the latest technologies to incorporate in the teaching and learning process. Because of the technology, it is possible to give the demonstration of the experiments, using presentation and the animation; it is now very easy to imagine the things. One of the latest technologies prevailing now days is Cloud Computing. By sharing IT services in the cloud, educational institution can outsource noncore services and better concentrate on offering students, teachers, faculty, and staff the essential tools to help them succeed.
