TSMRI seeks fellows for its 2012-2013 fellowship program

The Texas Social Media Research Institute (TSMRI) announces its 2012-2013 fellowship program. An online application to become a TSMRI Fellow is available at http://www.tinyurl.com/TSMRIfellowapp. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 23 and fellows will be announced May 1.

TSMRI is a multidisciplinary collaboration based at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. The institute provides research and training focused on communication technology and social media for K-12 education, higher education, businesses, and non-profit organizations. 

The Texas Social Media Research Institute Fellowship Program aims to foster research on social media and provide researchers and practitioners resources for discovery, both applied and scholarly. Fellows will work with TSMRI to connect social media to their research agendas. Fellows will receive early access to the Journal of Social Media in Society, complimentary registration to the 2012 Social Media Conference and TSMRI workshops and a one-year membership to TSMRI. Fellowships are for one year (June 1 to May 31) and applicants may re-apply for one additional year.

We are excited about offering opportunities to scholars wishing to study issues in social media. We expect to have between 2 and 5 scholars for the inaugural year of the fellowship program and hope to have applicants from universities across the United States, various disciplines and research paradigms.

Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (Your Office Computer)

Readers,

When I started working in higher education, I saved everything and I mean EVERYTHING on my office computer. This was GREAT for awhile and then I started working from home on the weekends (when I worked in student services). 

Unfortunately, I have heard HORROR stories from people who saved their information on office computers that proved to be unreliable for saving data.

Do you still save your data on the office computer?

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (External Hard Drives)

Readers,

Good morning! Here is one of my least favorite methods of backing up my data....external hard drives. I have lost a wealth of data on external hard drives! In fact, I dislike external hard drives so much that I often discourage my family members from purchasing such items. :)

However, I understand that many people like external hard drives. If they work for you, use them. However, I choose not to use these drives. :)
