Blog about Twitter

Post a blog entry with the above title. How does a Twitter discussion compare to a BlackBoard Discussion? To an in-class discussion?

Twitter is interesting to say the least. Comparing it to blackboard, kind of makes blackboard feel a little bland. The reason for this is simply because there are many people that can see your discussion. Many people can see your responses, thus things aren't as private. The world is at the fingers of the user. At the basic level, hashtags are used to make things easily visible. In comparison to in-class, although twitter has more exposure, an in-class discussion may be more felt. When a person is in a classroom with others, the energy, body language, tone of voice is felt. Sometimes the person with the louder voice is heard. There is no hiding behind a keyboard with an inclass discussion.
