** 1. Watch Social Bookmarking in Plain English by Commoncraft to learn more about the cloud. This video uses Delicious as an example; however, you will be using another one for these Quests called Diigo. **

** 2. Next go to How Stuff Works to learn about Cloud Computing. You will learn about the history of Cloud Computing, the architecture of how it works, security and safety using the Cloud, and applications in the Cloud. **

** 3. Now that you have had a brief introduction to the Cloud, think about some of the ways that using the Cloud is going to benefit you while doing your classwork. **

** 4. Open up your Word Processing software of choice (e.g. Word, Open Office, Pages) and // write a 150 word paragraph // on how Cloud Computing will benefit you when creating and saving your work. Save the document in your File Space. **
