Abstract
A connection oriented private cloud desktop named Dumbogo is developed to support cloud computing on anytime, anywhere and any device (3A). Cloud computing may be the most important paradigm shift after PC revolution and Internet prevailing. So far as to cloud computing in education, it would have significant impact on pedagogy since the inherited 3A characteristics. In this paper we expose to use Dumbogo as a media which facilitates cloud computing to sustain lesson planning, teaching activity and review. In the pilot research the demo site run Hsin Kuo High School in south Taiwan, we propose a new teaching approach under Dumbogo in a blended learning environment with learning style consideration.
