Twitter is a social media site where people would post up short statuses about their opinion on things or something that happened in the very moment. However, unlike other social media websites their posts are limited to only 140 characters.
A Twitter discussion is very different from a blackboard discussion. One, because you are not under a website monitored by an education system, and two is that Twitter posts are very short and sweet. You get information a lot quicker and with easier access. On Blackboard we have to constantly click to reach our destination and the way we comment is less casual compared to Twitter. Twitter also makes use of hashtags while Blackboard does not. Blackboard is more private and the general public can not read your posts while on Twitter you are given the option to private our make your posts public.
Twitter is different from an in-class discussion. Twitter is all digital and online based while in-class is in a real-life setting. On Twitter people do not have to talk face to face with each other while an in-class discussion requires it. On Twitter, people are more prone to voice their opinions because everyone is behind a screen while in an in-class discussion people may feel too shy to raise their hand or speak up. With a Twitter discussion, people are less afraid to actually engage in a discussion.
