Blog about Twitter

Twitter discussions of course are a lot shorter compared to Blackboard discussions due to the 140 char post limit. You'd have to tweet in parts, or post links if you want to get more information across. The more peole tagged in the conversation, the smaller the post limit becomes as well. However, discussion are a lot easier to read since they're shorter and right there on your timeline rather than having to open someone's post on Blackboard to see what they wrote and what others replied with. Being notified any time you get a reply is also a plus. With in-class discussions, the class will generally cover topics one by one and try to keep discussions somewhat brief so that there's time left to discuss the other topics. With twitter you can view multiple topics at once on your timeline and pick which ones you want to discuss further with another classmate.
