Advice
There are several ways I would use new media to help improve Baruch College. I would utilize the concept of virtual reality in several different forms. For students taking classes in the medical field, it could give hands on experience with things they cant really be exposed to. It can be used to put students into various hypothetical situation and see how they react in those situations. There could be so many different scenarios in which the application of virtual reality would help benefit the students of Baruch college. Also, the use of Twitter could be more dwelled into for class discussions, not just for a few classes, but more a majority. It can help build a more collaborative and friendly environment, and students can relate to one another in many more ways rather than on blackboard. The future of Baruch, as well as all other educational institutions will rely on the use of new media, it will foster new educational experiences that differ from the past, and a community of digital communication to make collaboration and work be more efficient.

I love your example of using virtual reality to give students in the medical field hands on experience! I have never heard of that idea before but I think it would help students tremendously. Having discussions on Twitter would definitely be more fun and entertaining, and overall a better experience in my opinion. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the use of twitter should be included in majority of classes. For shy students, such as myself, it gives a means of participating without going out of your comfort zone. It also allows for students to take the conversation out of the classroom in a fun and engaging way. In a time, where social media is so widely used it just makes sense for Baruch and our professors to integrate social media into the classroom for educational means.
