Save Your Data Week! - Using Google Docs!

Readers,

Now, I save almost everything in the "CLOUD". In fact, I use Google Docs for a lot of my research endeavors and writing assignments with students. Here's a neat video about Google Docs!

Do you use Google Docs?

Sincerely,

Save Your Data Week! - Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (Printing EVERYTHING)

Readers,

Some "old school" professors actually print everything they create on the internet. This method costs their colleges and universities a wealth of money in paper and ink. Sometimes it is great to have that high level of reassurance that your research article or your notes are in print, but the paper can encounter many negative outcomes before it reaches its final destination (i.e. - water, wind, etc.).

Do any of you save everything in print?

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

Grant Writing in Higher Education - Yay! We Met Another Deadline

Readers,

And...we're back! Spring break was great! Our family had a group weekend at Lake Tyler in Tyler, TX and now I am refreshed and ready for the rest of the week!
