Blog about Twitter

The very first difference that I see between a twitter discussion and a blackboard discussion is the amount of characters that someone can write. You can write as many things as you want on a blackboard discussion but on twitter you are very limited. Another difference between the two is the topics that are discussed on the platforms. Twitter is really just anybody discussing anything that comes to mind. Blackboard on the other-hand, is more for educational purposes and can be very specific topics pertaining to the class that you are in. I also feel that blackboard discussions are more organized making finding certain topics easier while twitter the only way you can really find topics to discuss is by looking for hashtags. Twitter discussions and blackboard discussions are also pretty much the same as an in class discussion, the only real difference is that in class discussions are in person. The really big difference between the three are the time constraints I guess. Twitter and blackboard discussions can last for a really long time as long as people are responding but classroom discussions are limited to the class time we get. All three basically serve the same purpose; to discuss, and to take the most out of the three, one who is better at writing and expressing themselves through written words should use twitter and blackboard while people who are great at public speaking and more outgoing should use classroom discussions to really be able to express themselves the best.
