Blog About Twitter
Twitter is very different from what CUNY students use, which is Blackboard. Twitter is an online news and social networking website on which users post and interact with messages known as "tweets." However, Blackboard is an educational technology website that allows you to stay updated among classes you are taking. The biggest difference between the two platforms is that an individual would use Twitter for a less formal purpose, mostly staying up to date on their interests. Blackboard is used for an academic purpose of being able to communicate with their teacher or classmates through posts or navigating the website to find documents or announcements for their classes. For an in-class discussion, Blackboard would definitely be better because all the posts are in one place. Twitter's retweet function would make a discussion very messy among many different people.

Indeed, Twitter is less formal than Blackboard. In fact, I think Twitter has every features that Blackboard has, even much more. Whatever you can do in Blackboard, you also can do it in Twitter. Twitter is more diverse and convenient to use, and it has much more flexibility. On the other hands, Blackboard sometimes has deadline for you to complete the assignment. More importantly, Twitter can "at" or "hashtag" particular person and specific topic, but Blackboard cannot.
ReplyDeleteLike you mentioned Dennis, Twitter is essentially an online news and social networking website. The informality of it allows users to write whatever that they desire. Users do not have to worry about what they say considering that this is a world wide web and you are always allowed to state your opinion
