Abstract
Information technologies that have entered almost every area of our lives have an important role to play both in our daily work and in the realization of our business and educational activities. Cloud Computing as one of the innovative technologies we frequently heard about recently, is creating innovative services in the information technology industry. With the popular terminology known as infrastructure as a services (IAAS), platform as a services (PAAS) and software as a services (SAAS), compounding the operation of various applications and services on an internet server called cloud technology, and running these applications and services can be done with any device connected to the internet. As these services can be rented by the users on the basis of use (Pay as you use). Due to the advantages and importance of cloud computing, the use of this technology is increasing rapidly. Cloud technology that aims to respond to users' expectations and to the desired extent. It offers different alternatives in rapidly growing areas such as communication, communication and education. In this study, it has been analyzed how this technology can be used in education which supports different educational activities such as mobile learning, cooperative learning and active learning. Therefore, the integration of cloud technology and its applications into the education sector has been examined with the use of Google Apps that is free and easy to use.
