There are many ways in which Baruch could utilize social media effectively. I think if teachers made a Facebook page for each class they taught it could be a great tool for professors and students to communicate regarding the class. Not only would it give professors an easy way to reach the class but it would also allow students in the same class to talk to each other through messaging but also through instant messaging. If multiple students and/or the professor were logged in at the same time they would be able to have a real time conversation, almost as good as meeting in person. It would also allow students to post questions that they are having trouble with and other students or the professor could help them work it out.
Another way that new media could be used at school is if the schools it self used a social media site to let students and faculty know about cancellations and other information that needs to get out. I believe this would be beneficial because people seem to constantly be on Facebook twitter, and other social media sites. So if they received notifications through one of them they would likely see it before they saw it on the Baruch website or through the Baruch e-mail.

Nice advices about using facebook or twitter for class. Not only it would bring closer relationship between students, it also bring relationship between professors and students together. Using social media to announce news about school is also a good idea because it accelerate the spread of the news.
ReplyDeleteI like the suggestions you brought up. I think that having class specific Facebook pages are a great way to encourage interaction amongst the class and the professors. Since most of us check Facebook a few times a day, it would be a great place to connect and ask questions. Also, I think that it would add a fun touch to the classes.
ReplyDeleteI like this advice since majority of the students in college use a type of social media site. Sometimes it would be easier to communicate with other students that way rather than exchanging numbers.
