Blog: Advice

If I was a new hire for Baruch and was in charge of managing our social media there are many different approaches I could take. However, before diving into any strategies first I would want to understand who are demographics are, this would include learning where most of our audience spends there time on. Each strategy would differ depending on the office that I'm working for and what the ultimate goal is. I think one creative solution that I've seen is having a student leader take over a specific platform for the day and answer questions people might be having. The student or staff can also do a day in my life. The school could also benefit by sharing resources through their social media and tailoring those messages depending on where they are going (i.e. twitter vs LinkedIn). Whenever we post any pictures or graphics, I would make sure they are high-quality content whenever possible of course. Nonetheless, I think the school has definitely gotten better with their social media presence. I do wish they were on Twitter more since that's where I am on primarily and get most of my updates, that are outside of email.

    Hi Marvin,

    I think sharing resources online would definitely benefit Baruch. There have been times where random people would stop me in the hallway to ask where things are. I think is Baruch used their social media students would check it more to find resources.

Blog: Next New

The next big thing that I see coming in the new media world is a virtual reality networking platform. Virtual reality and augmented reality are both two growing technologies in many aspects of our society. For virtual reality, we put on a set of goggles that will take us to another dimension, or a virtual reality. The way I see this happening is something like that of Animal Crossing on the switch. People will be able to create their own characters, who can look like they do in person or can be designed whatever character of their imagination. Maybe for security purposes, the user will have to take a selfie and the platform would create the virtual character for that person. People will have the ability to meet anyone they want, sort of like our social media now. The main difference is that you will be able to explore the world around you and be able to interact with others. You're no longer in a 2-D platform, you will now be in a 3-D environment. Right now, the technologies are no...

Blog vs. Wiki

Blogs and wikis were some of the first new media that began to grow since the start of the internet. Both allow users to write down information and make it public for others on the internet to go through it. Blogs, on the one hand, are a bit more personal. You can think of them as a personal webpage. On the other hand, wikis are more information-based and used to talk about a particular topic or area. Furthermore, wikis allow for multiple people to collaborate and work on a similar project. This can be great for companies or departments who have many people on it. Wikis can be seen as a grassroots project that people can contribute to, and blogs can be where you talk about a piece of work or topic that you're interested in. One particular blog site that I used to use a lot a few years back was Tumblr. Yahoo decided to buy them out. However, the company has seen its user growth flatten during the past few months, according to the article. What the company started to see is where ...

Blog: Wiki So Far

What I have done, thus far, in regards to the class wiki is figuring where I want to contribute. I have so many interests and ideas, that getting this down was step one. I have decided that I want to contribute to the Health and Fitness section as I wanted to talk about the Nike Training app that I have been using these past few days. It's been a tremendous resource for me helping me cope with everything that's currently happening. It's also given me a new perspective in the way I see fitness and an overall healthy lifestyle.  When I got there I saw that someone had already started one, but it looked like it was outdated. Originally the app was called Nike+ Training but at some point, during the past few years (or months), they rebranded themselves to Nike Training Club or NTC for short. The same has happened to their other apps. That being said, I began working on the overview message of what the other person had written down. I updated key details that have changed...
