Twitter

A twitter discussion and a blackboard discussion are very different. With Twitter, you are only allowed so many words; there is a chance your point will not get across. Being able to post on blackboard, gives you the option to write out a full response whether it be a paragraph or a sentence. Blackboard gives more of an academic impression and twitter gives more of a social impression. I believe that twitter and in class discussions are a semi similar. There are some classes where there is a discussion atmosphere and thoughts are thrown out at each moment. It is not very formal like blackboard discussions can be. Twitter and in class discussions give more of a personal and friendly atmosphere to things, unlike blackboard.
