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. I believe some of the decision makers at Baruch are not hearing our concerns and that by not sharing student's thoughts they are covering up glaring issues. Lastly, I believe that if there was a blog maintained by professors at Baruch which leaned towards providing students resources for their career, education, and personal life I believe many would greatly appreciate and utilize that.

Blog: Next New

 I believe the future of New Media is bright. Some of the latest advancements in technology have connected people and been one of the most powerful forms of new media such as augmented and virtual reality.

Aka these are advertisements made from holograms or projected light onto any surface where companies can market themselves at a lower cost and more freely. It may even already exist but due to legal reasons is not used often. However, I feel like having the ability to allow an individual to market as they wish, whenever, and wherever is incredibly important and influential.

Blog: P2P

 P2P stands for "peer to peer" file sharing. This concept often exists at many large organizations and businesses and allows groups to share information, data, and files among their coworkers easily and have data be readily accessible. File sharing in general is putting one's files and data in a location where it may be accessed or even edited by others. Peer to peer focuses on limiting that group to direct coworkers or a set number of individuals. Some of examples of P2P file sharing are organizations utilizing software such as OneDrive. This platform allows users to save all of their data and access it on any device in which they can log into their Microsoft Account. A user may create folders within OneDrive that are shared with other users and apply user roles based on access levels. Another popular tool created by Microsoft is Teams. Teams is organizational tool which is based off the concept of sharing files, managing tasks, and coordinating meetings with other group...

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!
