Blog about Twitter

Twitter discussion is very different from Blackboard Discussion. When users participate on Twitter discussions or response to a post, the user will use <#hashtag@username>on every post, so that the other users can see for whom the response is and for which post.

On other hand, on BlackBoard, if students want to discuss or reply to the discussion board on Blackboard, they can directly reply or quote or email author on the post. Also, on Blackboard there is no limit to the length of a post.

An in-class discussion is a real-time discussion that is gone after the class is finished. Discussions online can be saved for past a semester. Online discussions can be better sometimes, because you have more time to think about what to say.

Advice

Baruch College can use new media to improve the college in many different ways. Firstly, I would like to update and make some changes to the “Academic Calendar”. The calendar should provide the general registration date for “all students,” so that students will be able to plan ahead. Even sending out the semester calendar for students at the very beginning of the semester will help them plan ahead. Secondly, I’ll like to suggest that Baruch make changes to the login information, like “user ID and user Password” for the library, the computers at campus, and the campus Wi-Fi. Baruch “suggests” students and faculties to use the same format to access these facilities. For example: the user name is “first name initial. last name”   (j.thomas), and the password is “yyMmmdd + last 4 digit social number” (02Nov911234). I think having the same format for“passwords” might cause problems. For example,, if there is someone who knows your information, they will easily be able to access your ac...
