Advice

Because Baruch College is a commuter school there isn't as much community feeling as in other schools. I would recommend that Baruch use social media to create a community so that people can feel connected even if they are going home at the end of the day.

I would also suggest that Baruch create a dynamic site in which students can anonymously rate professors (like ratemyprofessor). This would help the school know which professors are popular and what issues students are having. It would lend to more transparency within the school.

  1. I think that having a separate rate my professor site just for Baruch students would be cool! An app would also be nice to have too. This could help many students and help with transparency.

 A network that would allow for students to interact and share resources. Sort of like Facebook but specific for students to share academic resources.

Creativity

New media fosters creativity in that it creates a place where people can freely share their new creations. In addition, as seen in the article 1+1+1=1: The New Math of Mashup by Sasha Frere-Jones, new media and new platforms give people a place to collect tools and media to create new and different things. The article speaks specifically to music mashups, however, the same can be said for still and moving images. There is a treasure trove of open source images that can be used by artists.  https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/01/10/1-1-1-1

Blog about Twitter

A conversation or discussion on twitter differs greatly from a conversation or discussion that happens face to face. People will say things from behind their computer's that they would never say in person. In addition, twitter conversations need to be in short 140-character bursts which is not necessarily how conversations flow naturally. In this way it differs from a blackboard conversation as well.
