 Abstract

Datacenters play a critical role as key cloud infrastructure providers such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, in the increasingly popular cloud computing. Datacenters provide utility computing to software providers, who then deliver application services to end consumers via the Internet. The latter has long been known as "Software as a Service (SaaS)," while the former has recently been dubbed "Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)," with the software service provider being known as a cloud service provider.

Abstract: Blended Teaching is a teaching model that is characterized by merging the two forms of teaching, that is, two formats: face-to-face teaching and online teaching. Therefore, this article addresses questions about: the Implementation of Blended Learning for meaningful learning for all Basic Education students, in addition, it proposes an analysis of educational legislation, the positives and negatives to implement this teaching in schools. The first phase of the methodology was a bibliographical survey on the theme of hybrid teaching, and from this study it was possible to conclude that the Brazilian Educational Legislations already bring in their articles, paragraphs and items the regulation of Blended Teaching. With this result, it is expected to contribute to basic education schools, so that they can implement hybrid teaching as an instrument in the quality of education, thus generating innovation in pedagogical practices for more meaningful learning for Basic Education students.
