How does a Twitter discussion compare to a BlackBoard Discussion? To an in-class discussion?

 I believe that people are willing to use Twitter rather than Blackboard as a means to do an in-class discussion. With the way twitter is formatted, people can easily retweet, and comment on each others post. Blackboard is very inefficient because you have to go back and forth in order to reply to someone's comment. Twitter also has another function which shows you tweets that you might be interested in and there are articles that are very interesting. Overall, I think that twitter should be used as a primary means for in-class discussions because of its efficiency and reliability.

Blog: Advice

You are hired by Baruch College to use  new media  to improve the College. What are some suggestions you would make using new media? Some suggestions I would make using new media to improve Baruch College would be making different social media platforms in order the bring the school together. As you all may know, Baruch has many different clubs and organizations. In order to bring the different organizations and clubs together, maybe a social media platform where everyone can connect is a good idea. Aside from this and moving onto the learning perspective, I believe that school can use different streaming services in order to improve the classroom experience. Rather than having everyone in a zoom call, professors can stream their classes which will probably make classes a little more structured and give students the opportunity to have a better experience. I don't really like zoom itself and would prefer to watch lectures through a streaming service.

Blog: Wiki So Far

 Though I have not worked on the wiki yet or contributed to any of the pages, I know that I will be adding to the economics portion of the wikipedia. I saw that there are already information about how social media effects the economy and the use or bitcoin, but I did not see anyone talk about current websites that provide real time data. One of the big differences between new media and old media is the speed of information being processed and distributed to the viewers. We already know of existing companies that take advantage of real-time news and data such as Bloomberg and virtually any news outlet. The importance of real-time data for the markets and the economy will effect the decisions of traders, big or small, around the world. People who not only invest in domestic fixed income or equities but international as well. Getting information the fastest and most accurate is what sets these new outlets apart. For my contribution, I will be going more into detail about different new...
