If I were to be recently hired by Baruch College to be apart of the new media team, some of the advice I would give is to use every single type of social media out there. Even the ones that are not as popular. Then give people incentives to share and promote the college. For example, a voucher for a free lunch or something similar to that sort so that more people will be inclined to help promote Baruch College. Another thing I would do is help the college utilize new media to help make the college student's lives easier. Things that are dedicated specifically to things in relevance to assist them. For example, if they wanted to buy or sell textbooks, help use new media to develop a tool to make it easier to assist the student in buying or selling textbooks.
How twitter discussions and blackboard discussions are compare is that they are both spaces where you can communicate with people for whatever reasons. On twitter, you could communicate whatever you want to since it has a plethora of things to talk about whereas blackboard is more so related to the school activities. Asides from that, they are both used to get concise and precise information quickly. For example on twitter, the newest fashion releases are posted there and on blackboard the latest homework, exams, grades are given there.
I think that Baruch should utilize social media and are lacking in that area right now. I also think that Baruch should create a easier way for students to buy and sell textbooks on social media platforms rather than just the Baruch bookstore.
ReplyDeleteI think thats a great idea to help promote and give an incentive to student, for promoting the school on every social platform, in that way students would be more knowledgeable about whats going on in the school, etc. if they are not on a certain network, so utilizing every platform even if they are not popular would be great. also developing a tool to help assist students in buying and selling textbooks for cheap is a great idea, that would benefit every student and make them want to purchase the textbooks.
