Abstract

In English:
In this paper we introduce the cloud computing, an informatics paradigm relatively new, but very flexible too, and we are going to expand on the concept of cloudlets, devices intended as a tool to enhance the productive use of the computers within the educational environment, not only in the schools with connection to the network, but also in those remote places where under the usual conditions a computer will not achieve its full potential due to the lack of Internet.
