I Heart Google! - My 4th Most FAVORITE Google Product! (Google Maps)




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 THIRD MOST FAVORITE product! - Google Maps!

I use Google Maps to...

1 - Show students a historical monument or a building in the United States.
2 - Determine the amount of time it will take to walk between one building and other  when traveling with undergraduate students.
3 - Help students understand the importance of privacy and digital literacy when they are out the public arena.

What an amazing product! I love Google Maps!!

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

Opportunity - TSMRI seeks fellows for its 2012-2013 fellowship program



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.
