Blog about Twitter

Twitter and Blackboard are very different when it comes to their purpose and the demographic it is targeting. Twitter is a social media platform where you can tweet something and it can be seen by millions of people. Twitter's main purpose is communicating. Blackboard is mainly used by colleges and it is an educational tool. 

Blackboard's main purpose is so that professors can post notes regarding class and students use it for submitting assignments given to them by their professors. Since Blackboard is an educational tool, no plagiarism or any form of cheating is not allowed. Blackboard also has a discussion board which is a bit outdated in way it is structured. Blackboard is also a secure website.

Twitter follows a format in which a person can only type up to 280 characters per tweet. Twitter is always up to date and you can easily figure out what's going on in the world with a few clicks. The way news is distributed makes Twitter an exceptional communication device when it comes to social media.

When it comes to a class, in person is always the best method of communication as it allows communication with emotion. It makes it easier for everyone to express their ideas freely. When conducting a class in person comes first followed by Blackboard and lastly Twitter. Blackboard places above Twitter because of the safety of the website whereas Twitter is more or less used for communication.

For my idea it's pretty simple. It's a crime detection app. This will let us know if any crime is happening around us presently but keeps the parties involved anonymous or ones that have happened in the past. This could be useful if someone is travelling to a new place and doesn't know anything about it. This will let them know if the area they are living in is safe or dangerous. This app should be run with police as they encounter all of the crimes at a certain place. Maybe it could be run by people but verifying the authenticity of crimes reported could be hard.

Facebook: Good or Bad?

 I remember using Facebook as a 10 year old kid by using a fake date of birth. At the time it was crazy to me something like Facebook existed, but as time went by the growth of Facebook and its' influence has always surprised me. For this research paper I would focus on Facebook and the impact it has had in our society from various perspectives such as economical, sociological, technological and moral perspectives. I will discuss the positives and negatives from each perspective. I will also provide examples of the influence Facebook has had over us as a society from each perspective. I will end my paper with my final analysis on how Facebook has impacted us and what the future of Facebook will be.

Advice

 One of the easiest ways and tools can be used to improve online communication between professors and students is Zoom. Zoom is easily accessible and easy to use compared to another tool which Blackboard collaborate. Also to increase engagement between students and college is if the college runs TikTok as it is becoming more and more popular.  If possible Baruch could collaborate with some store for example and have a raffle where the winner wins a prize from the company. (ex: Baruch could work with an apparel company and a certain student wins a hoodie if they share a certain post or something).
