Advice
If I were hired by Baruch College to use new media to improve the college I would try to implement social media sites such as twitter to create short (yet effective) discussions and even update students on when assignments are due. For an example, an English Professor can tweet out "Final Papers due tomorrow @ 5pm #GoodLuck" It is short and concise but gets the major point across. Twitter could also be used to alert students of when a teacher will miss class, instead of having to find out once they are already at school. Baruch College needs to utilize the real-time sharing factor new media has to offer its customers. Another possible suggestion is for Baruch College to allow the usage of new media such as Skype to enhance class discussions. With connectivity around the world, Baruch College students can discuss materials with a student or professor around the world and engage in an authentic conversation that can not be duplicated in a textbook.

I think this would be a great idea as well. Maybe if blackboard had an app (not sure if it does) and it sends notifications that would be so helpful making sure that we don't miss any due dates on assignments but then I'm not sure if people would really want to use precious phone memory on downloading blackboard so using something like twitter that most people have on their phone already is a good idea.
