Blog: Advice

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.

  1. 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.

  2. I 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.

Blog about Twitter

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.

Creativity and New Media

What I did here was just take the facebook logo and turned it into e-book by using their logo and their font type. Many people do this when they are ripping off other people's ideas to create that they liked in the first place. Such as the Supreme box logo, many people like the idea of the box logo but want their own custom design in it, so they would take Supreme's box logo idea and just use different fonts to create their own design. 

Blog: Privacy

There are many cons to new media and media in general but one of the major cons would be the privacy issues that people have to face when using these types of medias. Like for example, instagram allows you to make your photos private but others may still be able to see through your photos by looking through someone else's phone. On new media, you are never really secure in terms of privacy because the world wide web is public for everyone. Having websites like google and yahoo allow people to search your profile up if you have made a facebook or instagram or anything that is related to your name. New media doesn't allow for much privacy and that is one of the downsides of new media. It makes everything available for the public to see.
