Blog about Twitter

Twitter and Blackboard discussions are two different entities. Twitter is usually used for to engage with random users online. Likewise, Blackboard discussions are generally focused within the classroom and your classmates can have access to the discussions. Twitter can become quite confusing because it's open to the public and eventually you can't keep up all the posts that's being sent from various Twitter users. In contrast, Blackboard discussions can be easily traced back to the student. Also, Blackboard discussions can become productive to voice your opinion or to ask for advice on a particular subject. Some of the Twitter discussion can generate a hostile environment in which users can be highly offensive by using foul language and inviting trolls to continue the tirade of aggression. I believe Blackboard discussions are more beneficial for students to learn or generate new ideas. There is a presence of an actual person monitoring these discussion, so intolerant behavior is not welcomed. Furthermore, Blackboard discussions contains an unlimited amount of characters that can be used to freely speak your mind. In contrast, Twitter is strictly uses 140 characters to post a response and I believe it's not enough.
