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

Readers,

I purchased by first USB drive from a Black Friday sale at Walmart in 2003. I was overjoyed with a wealth of emotion because I did not have to save everything on a large portable drive, zip disks, or readable/re-writable CDs/DVDs anymore! It was amazing and it only held 128 MBs! :) 

Unfortunately, that USB drive was not large enough to handle my data and each year I had to upgrade to a larger USB drive. I followed that method for the past 12 years and now I have a 64 GB drive to save my data from my classes and research.

I hate to leave my USB drives in the classroom or even in my office and now I wear a Vera Bradley lanyard. To keep myself motivated, I wear a lanyard that matches my Vera Bradley bag of the year.

Here are some pictures!

Sincerely,

Google+ Emphasis Week - Google Hangouts...in a few weeks...

Readers,

In a few weeks, I will focus on Google Hangouts! I have been using Google Hangouts while teaching my online classes this semester and conducting meetings. This online software has been especially helpful when meeting with people on campus or at other locations. In fact, we have used Google Hangouts for our Texas Social Media Research Institute workshops all semester (for people who are not on our campus).

I cannot wait to use Google Hangouts my future classes!

Sincerely,

Dr. Edwards

Google+ Emphasis Week - Google+ and Higher Education

Readers,

Here is a neat web page focused on Google+ and Higher Education. http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/edu/+/university.

This website focuses on the following...

• Profile

• Circles

• Hangouts

• Stream

• Mobile

• Search

Here's how I use social networking in higher education...

I am friends with my students on Google Plus, but I have made a conscious effort not to become friends with my current students on Facebook. I do not use Google+ for assignments, but I do use Twitter for extra credit assignments.

Sincerely,

J. Edwards
