Social networking sites

After visiting Facebook, I noticed that the main page layout hasn't changed much from a decade ago, a time when Facebook was very popular among the middle and high school students. Twitter is the same, no new features, strictly tweeting. Instagram and Snapchat are two other social networks. Recently, Instagram added a new feature which happens to be Snapchat's main feature. Because of this, I think Snapchat will soon be obsolete.

YouTube vs. TV

YouTube has content for  everyone . For example, there are many YouTuber's that post vlogs (blogs in video form), comedic skits, pranks, tutorials, DIY's, just to name a few! YouTube has provided us all with content that we wouldn't be able to find elsewhere.  I think we can all attest that  YouTube is great, but is it better than TV? I will be researching this topic from an economical, technological, and educational perspective. I'll also be discussing about the positive/negative effects and impact YouTube has on society.

Next New

A new media that doesn't exist yet.. maybe McGraw Hill Connect mobile app.. that actually works. Currently the McGraw Hill Connect mobile app doesn't allow students to read or do assignments on their phone. As a student, I'm always on the go and sometimes when your traveling you find opportunities where you can read or answer a few homework questions to keep busy. Their current app does nothing.

Advice

If I was hired by Baruch College to improve the college by using new media, I would implement the use of Reddit. Reddit users create forums where they can ask a question or start a discussion on a specific topic. Anyone from anywhere can answer and other people can up vote or down vote your comment. I think it would be a great idea for Baruch to have an account where students can ask questions and have it answered by other Baruch students.
