This is a guest post by Carol Jackson, the digital content strategist at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University and lead producer, with Alison Jones and Karen Kemp, of the school’s podcast_ Ways & Means Show. It was originally published over at the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Prof. Hacker Blog. It adds to some of the discussion Naomi started with her post about podcasting last week.Â
Using snappy images is a good way to boost the popularity of your social media posts. Not only do people respond more quickly, and often more positively, to images, most social media platforms privilege images, meaning that they take up more space or remain on the top of the feed longer.

Adobe Acrobat Pro is an invaluable program for any graduate student. Â The ability to merge multiple PDFs into one, make the text in a PDF “recognizable” so you can copy/paste it to another doc, or sign a document digitally are just a few of the useful tools that Adobe Pro provides.
You probably know that Adobe Pro is installed on all of the Graduate Center computers, but did you know that you can access Adobe Pro edition remotely from any computer in the world?  Furthermore, you can link your DropBox, Sharepoint, Box, or OneDrive account to the remote Adobe Acrobat Pro program to easily work with your PDFs saved in the cloud.  This blogpost will provide some basic instructions for accessing Adobe Pro remotely and linking it to your online storage system.
