Advice to Baruch College
If hired by Baruch College, my suggestions for improving its new media would include changes to the classroom teaching methods. Often times, even the best professors fail at keeping students interested in lectures. So I would implement more digital ways of teaching in classrooms. Such features could be, videos, interactive tutorials, and websites that complement the appropriate coursework. Additionally, I would make computers more accessible in each classroom so we can merge new media with all facets of learning. In this way, each professor can connect relevant, new media that many jobs require in the age of new media. More students can get practice with using new media such as Ted Talks, social media, and more in their careers of choice while also learning important skills. The hallways at Baruch can also include interactive maps and schedules that detail nearby subway lines and their ETA's.

Hi Luidgi,
ReplyDeleteI can definitely resonate with your recommendations for improving new media technology implementation at Baruch College. Capturing and maintaining students' attention in the classroom setting is one of the most difficult yet rewarding actions for a professor. The use of more interactive platforms supplementing coursework would truly manifest a more comprehensive curriculum in which students gain a higher level of interest as well as understanding. Nevertheless, funding is a key issue in regards to improving classroom resources - hopefully Baruch's alumni base continues to monetarily contribute for a better undergraduate experience. Thanks for sharing!
