SIF Outreach Project

                 After meeting with my group this past Thursday, we came up with some ideas to help more students and faculty become more aware of the different kinds of technology platforms available to them here at GSU. One idea was creating an app or adding to the current GSU app for that matter, in which we can have plot point of the different technology locations available to us on campus. When the plot point is clicked, it would show the location, address, pictures of the space, a telephone number to contact the space and person in charge, and possibly a short video showing the usage of the space as a whole. As today’s world is swallowed into technology, having this app will be quite helpful especially on the go. Mentioned above was the idea of having videos of each space and we discussed the time frame per video and where it can be shown, in places like the Recreation center or Langdale, basically any place on campus with a TV. Also, we can put up flyer in individual classrooms, the library, the Recreation Center, Student Center, and other heavy populated places on campus to direct the students and faculty to the specific platforms to be able to watch these promotional videos for these places. The SIF Outreach Project is looking to aim to target one space at a time and the first one on our list is the Digital Aquarium in the Student Center, so we shall see how things go!

Uncovering the best video software

                 Being a marketing major, I slowly started to gain an eye as to how to promote a certain product or service. I’m really excited to work on the SIF Outreach Project as it is a way to put my major to work. I want to see which is the best video software out there as a means to help more people know about CURVE. The idea is to have some sort of a video that will show pictures of the CURVE space with footage of all the cool things you can do in the space and explaining the features of the different kinds of technology with some sort of music or audio underlying it. I found out today while working at CURVE that this could be done in a software as simple as Microsoft PowerPoint, and then if needed it can be converted into a video file. Hopefully we can put this idea into play as it would be a great way to show and explain to students and faculty about the usage of CURVE. We could possibly post this on the GSU website or have a screening of it in Library North if possible as that is where most of the students and faculty visit when they come to the library. Looking forward to possibly turn this idea into reality and help students and faculty understand more about the cool new addition to our library called the CURVE.

Technology plays a role in practically every major!

             Marketing is my major and if you meet me, you could easily see as to why my major fits my personality perfectly. I chose my major so I could uncover innovative ways to promote new technologies and products. This was one of the biggest things that made me so interested with working with the Student Innovation Fellowship, or SIF. Having a stronger technology base could help me with both school and my future career. Technology is where the future of society is headed, so having a solid background in technology is essential to having a successful, lifelong career. Beginning my inroads into learning and understanding the advances in society starts with my college education. It’s important that I be able to promote myself in a competitive economy, especially since the number of college graduates is increasing each year. Having an intimate understanding of current advances in technology is an advantage over those with the same qualifications otherwise.
