Blog About Twitter

Both Blackboard and Twitter can be used to discuss topics of interest. Of the two, Blackboard is much better. Twitter's 140 word limit can make it difficult to post a long reply and it is more suited for short, quick conversations. It is much easier to post a long and detailed response on Blackboard. Compared to an in-class discussion, it is much easier for shy people to participate online as they have the time to think out their replies before posting and they do not have to interact with people face to face. With in-class discussion, however, everyone is at the same place at the same time so they are all on the same page and are able to respond quickly. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.
