Blog about Twitter

When you look at ways to have class discussions, the three methods of Twitter, Blackboard and in-class are all very interesting methods to use. The Twitter discussion is the newest form of discussion, but I don't believe it's the most effective in getting your message across. You only have 280 characters to say something, and not everyone could be using Twitter daily. Therefore, they might not see your message or they might not understand a general description of it. Blackboard is better because it's more detailed, and there's more of a direct place to go and see people's posts on what they think about a certain topic. In-class discussion, however, might be the best form because everyone is gathered together in the same place and is able to explain their own opinions. People can have an open and honest discussion by directly listening and talking to each other.
