Blog about Twitter

In twitter, students are able to tweet through their phones, I'm not too sure about this but I don't think we can post discussions through our mobile phones, even if we are able to, I don't think it would be as easy as twitter. Also, twitter can be seen through the public and blackboard can be only seen through the public. However, I do believe that each has its own perks. Twitter would be great for constantly engaging, whereas blackboard you can write in depth and meaningful posts because there is a character limit on twitter.Twitter can be helpful in an in-class discussion, everyone can see what everyone is posting and people can reply whenever they are free.

Blog: Advice

I think one issue that has been circling with Baruch for many years is getting people to hangout around campus. Being that this is a commuter school people tend to just come for class and then go straight home. I would incorporate social media more heavily in the school to share what events are happening around campus, and also live stream the events so even if people are unable to come, they feel more connected with the school.
