Advice

If I were hired by Baruch College to use new media to improve the College, I would make the following suggestions. I just came to know that Baruch has different Instagram accounts, my first suggestion would be to take more advantage of the media that has already been created. Introducing these networks should be an important topic during orientation and it should be promoted on the Baruch website. This would lead to more awareness and more student traffic since many students are not even aware of it. Changing content and posting important events is also important. Also, I would recommend and encourage Baruch students to take over these media accounts and publishing content that students will be more interested in. Another suggestion would be to create virtual 3D maps and virtual tours of the campus. Many times students don't take advantage of the many different amenities the campus has to offer, or have a hard time finding help because they don't know it even exists. Introducing 3D maps and virtual tours would help new and current students greatly. 

Lastly,

    Yes, I agree. I remember coming to Baruch and following many Instagram page and still didn't know what to expect. They should create a page to post important events. And with pandemic virtual 3D maps would be so cool to show how Baruch looks. It would be great welcoming for people learning online.

Privacy

Privacy and confidentiality issues have become even greater with new media. New media has allowed for information to be more easily accessible and shared with people. Your friend can be on the other side of the world and that person would be able to see your posts online. However, the use of new media tools such as social networks can lead to privacy and confidentiality concerns. For example, when creating a new account you are agreeing to privacy agreements. By agreeing, some of these companies can gather different data and sell your information. This is where confidentiality and privacy concerns come into play. According to the article, "The Wild West of Privacy" by Joe Nocera, big data brokers such as Acxiom, have developed tools that allow them to gather big amounts of data about ourselves and then sell it to companies that are interested in learning anything from out habit to our health and finances. When using new media, keeping one's privacy and confidentiality is ...

Next New

I believe virtual reality technology use will continue to increase in the future and new ways of using this media will be invented. Recently, I started teaching my cousin how to drive, and honestly, it is very nerve-racking. As VR reality usage increases, I believe it can be used as a way of teaching students drivers how to drive, park, and show them different scenarios before they start practicing in real life. Maybe this can be a course before they take their license exam to ensure that they are prepared.

The Effects of Social Media on Education: Weighting the Impacts

I chose to do my paper on the impacts of social media on education. Over the years social media has become bigger and bigger. With most generations using social media platforms, it can be said that it has affected our daily lives to a great extent. With education being one of the most important aspects of youth, I think it is important to discuss how social networks are impacting students and their education, and how it will continue to do so. My analyses will focus on giving both negative and positive aspects of social networks on students and how this impacts their educational setting. For example, social media has become a great distraction to students, which in some circumstances, causes their performance to decline. I plan to include some studies to support this analysis. On the other hand, social media networks encourage students to engage with each other and share their creativity. In addition, I would also like to touch on the challenges of students using social media such as p...
