Blog about Twitter

     Twitter and Blackboard discussions are very different from one another. Twitter discussions are out in the open and public with access to anyone. Blackboard discussions stay within the class itself and is only accessible by the class. Having a discussion on twitter compared to a discussion on blackboard sounds good on paper but doesn't execute as well as a traditional blackboard discussion has. It's easier to keep track of who is saying what, and for classroom purposes, have a more thorough discussion on the relevant topics on blackboard since there is no character limit. An in-class discussion might be one of the most effective way to communicate but not the most efficient due to time constraints. In an in-class discussion some people might not get a chance to voice their opinion or take on a subject, along with others who might be shy or not comfortable speaking out on topics in public. In my opinion a blackboard discussion is the most efficient medium for discussion in a classroom setting, where each student can share their thoughts on a subject matter and also easily comment and discuss with the other classmates on their thoughts.
