Blog About Twitter

Twitter is a social networking and communication website that allows users to engage in quick information and resource sharing. Each message on Twitter is called a tweet, and discussion on Twitter is limited to 280 characters per tweet. Therefore, users need to be mindful of the content of their message. Twitter is also an online service that allows users to access and participate in discussions at anytime and anywhere. However, discussions through twitter has its downfalls, such as how time consuming it is to think of a tweet that only contains 280 characters.
In contrast, Blackboard is a platform that is primarily used in an education setting. It allows teachers and students to engage in class discussions and resource sharing. Discussion on Blackboard is more private and only selected people in a group can view and participate. In addition, Blackboard does not have a limit on how many words you can use per message. Therefore, Blackboard is a great platform for closed discussions between teachers and students.
In-class discussion is a face to face interaction that requires participants to be physically present at the same time. Twitter and Blackboard has advantage over traditional in-class discussions, as they are both online platforms that allows users to participate in a discussion anywhere at any time. For in-class discussions, participants must wait for one person to finish to proceed and comment on the subject matter. It also requires the speaker to speak loudly so everyone can hear the speaker. Thus, in-class discussions would be limited for a large number of participants.

Since Baruch is a commuter school, all that would change the dynamic of Baruch’s social life. Therefore, it would promote students to exchange ideas and share information willingly. Even though the existing Blackboard system allows students to connect with each other, its functions are limited and it is not user friendly. In addition, by utilizing social networking technology to create an app for student...
