I Heart Google! - My FAVORITE Google Product! (Google Docs)

Readers,

This week is dedicated to GOOGLE! It is "I Heart Google" week! Each day, I will feature a video focused on one of my favorite Google products! :) 

Today is focused on my NUMBER ONE product! - Google Docs!

I use Google Docs to...


1- Conduct research.
2 - Provide students with comments while grading papers.
3 - Chat with students.
4 - Plan family events (Google Forms and Google Documents).
5 - Disperse surveys.
6 - Write notes while attending conferences.

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

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. :)

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

Readers,

Another method that I use for saving data is the CLOUD! To be specific, I use the Google cloud to back up my data! I have definitely consumed the Google Juice, because I rarely use Microsoft Word unless I have to submit an article to a journal. In fact, I have not installed the new version of Word (Word 2010) after purchasing it two years ago. :)

Here is some information about Google Docs - http://docs.google.com/ 

In addition, the Campus Technology Magazine published an article titled, "Sitting on Cloud Mine".

Sincerely,

J. Edwards
