New Media

Hi,

I'm currently enrolled in a course at Baruch College to teach me about new media. This is the first online course I've ever taken, and I'm excited to learn about this whole new world that I've never participated in as of yet.

I was reading an article in the New York Times recently about the attractiveness of online classes because of the rising cost of living and the cost of gas. Also, for someone like me who works full time, it gives me a chance to finish the rest of my credits in order to graduate.

Before I wrote this blog I was instructed by my professor to watch a youtube video (another form of new media) to teach me about blogging. It's very interesting how the News that was reported to us in the past was filtered out by only a handful of people. Now, with blogs and all forms of online networking it's possible to look up information that was never avilable to us in the past. You can even share this information with friends and your fellow bloggers.

Anyways, that's all for now...bye!
