Blog v Wiki


In my opinion, wiki is a new media that has information with statistic, data and different branches to a topic. In the other hand, blog is a new media platform to express a point focus opinion of a topic or issue. Both, wiki and blog have a system where one can upload information wether is precise or not and comment on posts made. In the article, "Brooklyn Blog Helps Lead to Drug Raid" Wilson states that a blog allows "one person wrote in 2006 about a home steeped in reports."But, wiki has  the ability to have a topic online that can be changed by others.This issue is stated  in the article "An Internal Wiki That's Not Classified" when " anyone at the State of Department could have edited the biographies." The topic of importance of convergence in today's world reflect the evolving of new information on a topic.  As technology evolves, new information is magnified to correct the errors made in past calculations and new finding in history. I believe that blogs can be used for collaboration by presenting a topic where new subtopics can be commented by others.

    I feel as though this connectivity we all have as classmates through our own respective blogs does a great job at demonstrating the collaboration that blogs can be used for. I like how you describe wiki as being a new media that can have "different branches to a topic." In my perspective I didn't see it as having different branches, but rather having different inputs. I feel as though when others submit the information within a wiki, it's more of an additional input of the same topic. But it can also be conveyed differently, as information can branch out like the way you described. Very interesting.

The strong presence of new media in today's society, provides us with different ways to improve Baruch College. First I believe improving the virtual campus tour will be a great start. The current virtual tour is outdated that it does not provide enough information of the campus. The tour should be similar to a life tour in order to provide upcoming students with the real student life at Baruch. Thus, this will avoid new students from being lost in the first day of class. In addition, there needs to be a social media platform for each class. This will helps students to be more engage in the class and aware of upcoming deadlines.  Furthermore, Twitter should be use as a discussion platform instead of blackboard. Twitter, will help more students to be engage and learn from others.
