Blog about Twitter

I wouldn't consider Twitter a discussion app at face value. But it is easy to feel safe behind the screen with the ability to say what you might not usually say in person to someone in a class room. But a classroom discussion is much more orderly. People will know when others are talking and take turns answering one another. On Twitter a discussion can get out of hand very fast depending on the number of people. With multiple tweets coming in at once it can he hard to follow the conversation.

The same could be said about a blackboard discussion in regards to Twitter. If everyone is on the site at once in can get chaotic trying to follow. But a blackboard discussion is strictly tied to the classroom, possible causing students to be more careful about their words causing a limitation on the conversation.

I will always believe in person discussions are the best way to express feeling, share knowledge, gain the most understanding.
