Wow! Im, torn between the benefits and the possible repercussions. When I read the last
"We're Not All Ready for the Cloud Yet" blog it made me think of all the technological ways in which we can catch a terrorrist, or some one who is doing illegal things through infra-ray, etc.
How the goverment has started to tell businesses such as Chevrolet that because they accepted bail-out monies, they now have to shut down X amount of dealerships. Big Brother truly may be watching you. Especially if you leave information in the cloud that could be used for your hurt.
On the other hand the use and convenience of being able to access not only your data, but that of others on a global basis to incorporate with your thoughts and experiences. How cool is that!
Just having access to this web site and being able to understand a concept like "cloud computing" which up until 3 days ago I had never heard before. It's self-motivating.
I would like to thank all the people who have made this experience possible. I believe that in the end I will be a better person and librarian for it.

Method 1 and 2
I guess I was most impressed by the word usage in these videos. Words like:
engagement, commitment, empowerment, reflection, motivation, expand,
sharing, collaborating, ethics, priorities, and strategies. Each of these words promotes
a sense of confidence and thoughtfullness. I have to say, for me personally that
change is a scary word, and yet my life seems to be full of it. I have been fortunate
in my life to have had people who would mentor me and tell me to get back up
when it would have been so much easier to lay down and just do what was easy.
I am most influenced by my belief in God and the knoweledge that He is always
present no matter what I may face. I realize that to some, the challenges I face now
would be inconsequential. So I shall mount up with wings as eagles; I shall run, and
not be weary; and I shall walk, and not faint. Here goes.....

method 2
I'm entering this with not a little fear and trepidation; but I also realize that once I have mastered this fear, I will begin to excel in an area I had not imagined for myself. No pain,
No gain.
No gain.
