If I were to make some suggestions to new media at Baruch College one thing I would like to implement is virtual spaces. As technology is growing, I believe this will be a great addition to the college. I would hope this opportunity will soon develop into virtual classrooms where students and professors can have interactive lessons. Through virtual classrooms, I believe productivity will increase, students will be more active, possibly save more money, and it will be extremely flexible. I know this will be a difficult process of implementing but I believe it will be really beneficial for the college environment! This will give students a different feel to college and hopefully their success through virtual classrooms will reflect that!
Privacy and confidentiality has become of big concern for the new media world. It seems like once you post something online, it is there forever. In the article "The Wild West of Privacy", Joe Nocera makes some interesting points such as: internet companies collect information about us, which they deploy in the service of advertisers. They know as much about us as we do ourselves. As a user of new media, this concerns me. Upon reading this article, I will be more conscious on the content and information I post online. The biggest problem is when others are able to use and manipulate information about you which can cause a whole bunch of chaos. Users should be more aware when using the media and take efforts to protect their information as much as they can!
This is an interesting way to keep the class active. I think this is a brilliant idea. This is definitely flexible more many students since most of them have jobs. People can think of this as playing a game and learning!
