Discussion Unit 7: Using the Cloud

We all use the cloud throughout our day to day life, but often we aren't aware of it.  From phone apps, Google Docs, OneDrive, streaming services, and so on, Cloud technology is a big part of our life.  For your original post this week, discuss one way you use the cloud currently, and a way you would like to use it in the future.

I actually love using cloud based services one way that I've really made use of it in the past was with google docs and google drive. I used to run a game server and when google drive got created we would upload client files for our beta testers and patches before finalizing the product. I still to this day have a lot of files uploaded on google drive which I was using at the time. Sometimes I also use it to send files and things to friends as well such as when we play Minecraft and one of us host's the save file needs to be downloaded by each person so using google drive for it is really quick. At work we no longer have hard drive space on the server instead Microsoft OneDrive provides our cloud based storage and I use that for Safety team information and stuff that has no SSI (Sensitive Security Information) information.   As for future use I don't think I can really utilize it anymore then I currently am. I don't like backing up my phone using it because if the data ever gets hijacked like we see with cloud servers there's personal and financial information which I wouldn't feel comfy being up on the internet. 

Assignment Unit 7: Create a OneDrive Portfolio

Using what you learned in the reading resource this week, you will use those tools to create a Portfolio in OneDrive.  Be sure to take screenshots and paste those into a Word document for your submission.

College Associates Degree Requirements

 This page will go over some of the requirements for each course. And since I'm adding lessons for courses it will also link to pages giving you access to each lesson that you will be able to try out. Keep in mind lessons completed aren't giving you credits from the website. The lessons are knowledge to help you, get better grades, learn a course to see if it's something you would enjoy doing, or get help when your stuck. When you see courses that have OR options that usually means you only have to pick one of the classes offered because they can be electives. Like for example if you have the requirement to take a math elective you get choices it doesn't mean you have to complete all three of them. Starting out I'll have some classes completed but until they are all completed the page might look like nothing more than a listing of different courses with no actual links. But I'm hoping to expand this into something that can really help people who need help learni
