Advice to the College

You are hired by the College to use new media to improve the College. What are some suggestions you would make using new media?

I would suggest educators use new technology such as social media to stay in contact with students and keep relevant class related information updated. 

Instead of using sites such as blackboard and communicating through emails, professors can encourage students to make their own classroom facebook page or a twitter account for example. These social websites will strictly allow students to upload posts relating to the class, socialize with fellow classmates, upload photos that fosters bonding and communication and the professor will have full access to the pages to instruct the students. 

Also, I would encourage the use of Ebooks instead of hardcover copies and to limit using paper. The professor can also create a blog site or a website designed for students to upload their work without going through the usual CUNY systems. It would be less time consuming and low cost effective because the information is easily obtained and the students are kept up to date by the instructor.
