How does a twitter discussion compare to a BlackBoard discussion? To an in-class discussion?
Twitter discussions are short about 250 words, so the person has to get there point across in those 250 words that they have, which compared to a blackboard and in-class discussion could be very long and the person has a choice of speaking more freely during a blackboard or an in-class discussion. Blackboard and twitter discussion can also help shy or nervous people participate more in class since blackboard and twitter discussions are online and these people don't have to speak in front of real people, it might help them come up with better ideas.
