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.
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.
There is actually a Baruch College Reddit! (https://www.reddit.com/r/Baruch/) As far as I can tell not many people know about it but I think it would be a great idea to expose this to more students to get more interaction on the page.
ReplyDeleteYes there is one already but I would encourage students to use it more and maybe even staff so everyone can see others point of view.
