Abstract

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.
