Blog about twitter

Twitter discussions compare to blackboard discussions in the sense that your classmates can view and respond to your discussion. To elaborate, you can post to Twitter and your classmates can respond just like on blackboard. However it is easier to see what you classmates post on Twitter because as soon as you open it, their posts are on your feed. On blackboard you have to open the discussions tab to find their topics. Another difference between the two is the word limit. Twitter has a word limit of 280 characters which limits your discussion in comparison to the unlimited count on blackboard. When it comes to in class discussions, Twitter is different because your discussion is always there while after that class the discussion may be closed. The word count is also a different while in person you can say as much as you want to. Another way Twitter differs from both in class and blackboard discussions are that if your account is not private anyone can see your post. This makes Twitter a more suitable platform for trying to get your voice heard.
