Blog about Twitter

I think having a Twitter discussion is a lot more comfortable to have then a BlackBoard discussion. BlackBoard is considered a more academic platform where students are inclined to answer professionally, while Twitter is more of an "open platform" where students feel more comfortable in answering other colleagues. This also goes the same for an in-class discussion. In-class is even worse when it comes to responding truthfully. In conclusion, Twitter discussion is a lot more efficient when you want someone to answer how they really feel.

    I definitely can relate to the idea of being much more professional in class and under blackboard. We are expected to build on ideas, or even disagree in a mannerly fashion; whereas on twitter, it's more straight to the point, and sometimes brutally honest. However, in some cases, like you mentioned, this might actually be a good thing, being the quickest way to the truth. Nice post!

    The points that you make in your post are very valid. I feel as though Twitter is designed for informal conversations as you can only use up to 140 characters. You could practically ask anything and figure since it's informal it doesn't matter how silly it sounds. Meanwhile on BlackBoard you have enough space to write as much as you want. Therefore, it's a bit more professional and you would have to word your sentences much better. I definitely do agree that Twitter would foster a conversation that expresses individual's true feelings.

Next New

A new type of ” new media” that I would suggest are holograms . They already have the characteristics of new media such as communication, collaboration, community, creativity, and convergence. Holograms are an advanced version of Skype. They can be used in the office to make communication more engaging instead of just video chatting or emailing you will feel more connected with the person. They can be used in the classroom, there are a lot of online classes already but some students feel like they can’t learn without a teacher. So you can have the convenience of an online class but still, have the feeling of being in a classroom.

Advice

One piece of advice I would suggest by using new media is to utilize it in order to collaborate both students and faculty members. Blogs and wikis can be used to update everyone on events that are happening that day or week.  If blogs and wikis are set up where you have to interact with other people’s work, it’s a push to help you get to know each other. There are many times when people just go to class and literally don’t talk to anyone, but if you see the person that has been commenting on your work that could then start an in-person conversation. Another way to use new media is to make some kind of account for every club, team, and group on campus, whether it is an Instagram account, Facebook, Twitter, etc. This way the students and faculty can follow the pages and get updates about all the information these groups have to offer. But is not just for the people that attend the school it can also be useful to the people who are looking into attending or working there, it’s a useful to

Video Games: A New Experience

Video Games. We've all played some, one time or another. Ever since the early 70s when Atari first released Pong has a commercial video game, the gaming industry has always been one of the biggest industries technology has seen.
