Blog about Twitter

Twitter is a very fast paced and versatile platform. It may be served as a class discussion board, but that is not its main usage. It is not ideal to have a class discussion with Twitter. Although Twitter is really simple to use, when too many people join into a discussion using hashtags, it can get extremely confusing. A discussion board is the most ideal place to, well, have a discussion. Although the discussion board does not have as many functions as Twitter, it serves the one purpose we need, a organized discussion fitted for large groups. Personally, I would use Twitter for updates and one on one discussions, but never a large group. Of course, an in-class discussion beats the above two because not only is it in real life, but it is in an extremely organized setting that promotes a thoughtful discussion. By that, I mean there is an instructor that guides every single topic of the discussion and will most likely come out more fruitful than anything online.
