This Blog Post sounds more like a fun assignment. If ever in the world I was hired by Baruch College; I would make a number of changes for the students. Being a student of the college gives me experience about the needs and requirements of students. New media is very important and it is very essential for our students to be on top of it. Since, our college belongs to New York City. We should always be the first one to introduce a new format of media or communication. I am very glad that I have used new media for 2 of my courses. One for this course and for my English 2800 class. I have a blog setup and everyone is required to post blogs. It is very convenient for us to upload stuff online and getting feedback from professor and class mate’s directly. Bringing classes online by using technology enhances students and professors ability to keep up to date.
These are the steps I would take or suggest to Baruch media team.
Baruch User:
First of all I would merge CUNY portal, email and Baruch user name into one account. For example you would just need to provide your Baruch user name e.g. Ya923022 and password. Then you will have option to go to the following links.
o Blackboard
o Esims
o CUNY portal
o Baruch Email
It will eliminate the hassle of managing multiple accounts for all the soures we use for our college. We will just one account to login to all the computers and online sources.

Blackboard:
Blackboard is an important tool but the layout looks like of a one like 1985 web page. The blackboard will have a complete new over view. It will have better and faster working links. With easier options to communicate and browse pages. I will prefer blackboard page in flash so it’s easy and fast. The graphic layout if flash is quite easy and friendly to use.
Social Networking:
The last and most important suggestion I would recommend is a social networking plan. I hope it becomes into a reality. There should be a social networking website for Baruch College. It will be on a new web address e.g. www.meetbaruch.com
All the students would just use the same Baruch user name to log in to website.
Students will be able to interact with all other students and professors in the college. Moreover, there would be a forum for students. Students would post problem or questions about the registration classes or what ever is required. Other students will answer it and provide feedback or suggestion. Our seniors would lead our juniors and same way juniors would guide sophomores and freshman. It will become very easy for college and students to interact online. And there should be a panel of experts just reviewing the post and helping students if needed. There will be sections for new students. They can learn about the places and courses and make friend even before entering the college .It is just not the student who will benefit from this website, also, the faculty and all the workers at College would have access to this network page. Every one will have their own personal page and they can make add their whole class and the professor would be the moderator of that section. We will all move electronic, all the notes, announcements and documents would be online. In simple words, it will be fun educational community.
