Advice

       Information technology has improved and made significant impacts on our daily lives. It is fascinating to see how more and more users are using the internet as a medium for communication and information as technology evolves rapidly. Although technology is changing our behaviors, ideas and the way we think. I believe information technology has not been effectively incorporated into higher education.

       If I were hired by Brooklyn College to use new media to improve the college, I would suggest them to use the virtual world to give a virtual tour around Brooklyn College. They can upload the virtual tours to platforms like YouTube and to make it even more accessible, I might suggest them to create a Brooklyn College application for smart phone users. These applications will allow them to find places around Brooklyn College easier.


      In addition, for the virtual tour, I would suggest to give a tour around the main buildings and the Library building. The virtual tour should also include the neighborhood around Brooklyn College and a number of restaurants or convenient drug stores.  For freshmen who came from a small high school making a transition to a big and unfamiliar college, it might take some time to adapt. The virtual tour would allow them to learn more about the surroundings of Brooklyn College and also to become more comfortable.
