Nigerian Secondary School Teachers' Awareness of and Readiness to Utilize Cloud Computing in the Classroom in a Selected Local Government Area

This study examines secondary school teachers' awareness of and readiness to use cloud computing for teaching in Lagos State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire to gather data. The respondents were 240 secondary school teachers selected into the study based on gender and years of experience. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, mean scores, percentages, t-test and ANOVA. The results revealed that secondary school teachers were moderately aware of the use of cloud computing technologies for teaching, and have a positive inclination towards adopting digital tools to enhance education. In terms of teaching experience and among different groups of teachers, the results showed no significant differences between secondary school teachers in regard to their awareness of and readiness to use cloud computing for teaching. Based on these results, the study recommends that educational institutions and policymakers develop and implement comprehensive training programs to help teachers adopt cloud computing. These training programs should focus on both the theoretical aspects of cloud computing and its practical applications in the classroom.
