"What are you doing to prepare for your upcoming team research report project? What is your role in the project? What have you learned (from the project itself or your team experience)?"

Well, I am a little bit behind on writing this one as our team project is done and we present tonight.  But I can tell you what I did and what our team did.

To prepare for the project, we started a google doc to write our paper and to generally communicate.  It was slow going at first because we were all very busy with other things.  We broke the research into three basic sections:  advantages/disadvantages, costs, and security.  My section was on costs.

I researched the given costs of cloud computing as well as the hidden costs and wrote my section.  We all contributed to the other sections of the report, but I have to admit that the ladies did most of the work.  I did ask several times if there was something that they needed or wanted me to do though!

I cannot say that I explicitly learned a lot from this project; a little bit about cloud computing pricing and some of the hidden components of that.  I am sure I gained something but I cannot quantify it at this time.
