Blog about Twitter

 A blog in essence is the ability to share one's ideas and thoughts in formatted method. Having a blog on Twitter is more so of a informal virtual discussion and presentation of one's thoughts. Twitter in general is created and provided users with such tools that promote self thought and opinion without restriction. Having the character limit also pushes individuals to be more concise and wholesome with their thoughts. Compared to a Twitter discussion, a Blackboard discussion is more structured, without a character limit, and has many technological tools to embed links, photos, and other resources to help present an individua's thoughts. Blackboard is also considered a scholarly site which causes users to write more professionally and thoughtfully. I find Blackboard discussions to be a well thought out design of ideas. Lastly, an in-person class discussion is my favorite. This format gives up the formalities of capitalized letters and forgoes the art of writing. Rather the ability to create eye contact, use an individual's voice, and one's natural ability to present a unreviewed thought is incredibly raw and impactful. I believe it says a lot not only regarding the individua's thoughts on the topic but also the individual themselves. Regardless, the environment, culture, and general style of a discussion can dictate how the speaker speaks and the listener hears.

Creativity and New Media

 In this post you will find my personalized Bitmoji! This software allows me to create my own personal avatar that I can use on Snapchat, iMessage, and other platforms. It has been fully customized from all the features of my face and body to the clothes I wear. Certain software also allows users to create unique stickers such as the Halloween themed one in this post. I would highly recommend all individuals to create a Bitmoji and express themselves in their own unique ways! 

Blog: Advice

 If I was appointed by Baruch College to advise on how to better implement New Media to improve the school I would have a couple areas of focus. The first one being in utilizing social media such as Instagram and Twitter to keep students posted on deadlines, news, and other important information. For example, many students are cumbersomely opening up the Baruch Academic Calendar on their phone to see the last day to drop a course, when we have holidays, or when final exams may begin. I believe providing posts on social media on these upcoming days would benefit many students. Another area in which New Media can be implemented is the creation of a website or forum within Baruch which allows students to give feedback to Baruch on how their class or professor is doing. Currently we have a survey for each class at the end of the semester, however I feel that student's concerns are often not addressed and professor's attitudes, style of teaching, or even employment remains unchanged...

Blog: Wiki So Far

 I have thoroughly enjoyed working through the New Media Wiki so far. I have focused my efforts on the Real Estate topic and have added five paragraphs in regards to how an agent should help a buyer in the process of purchasing a home. I have added multiple links and photos within each section. Furthermore, I look to focus now on editing content of my peers and seeing how I can ensure their hyperlinks, photos, and other links function correctly. Along with that, I may look to add more detail into the real estate section in regards to what a seller may expect from an agent and the entire process. All in all, my wiki experience has been positive and I have learned a lot about how to apply new media concepts to daily topics in life.
