Twitter compared to a blackboard discussion has its benefits and detriments. With twitter one can have a discussion and share it to world or just amongst their followers. Twitter also allows users to tag peers in a tweet, so during a discussion one who have the option of directing a specific tweet towards someone and this tweet will show up on their timeline. During a blackboard discussion however there is no limits on characters and this leaves one with the opportunity to quote passages without having to worry about space. Blackboard also allows one to create specific post that are neatly organized and topics would be listed by post date.
As fun as a online discussion can be, I believe that a in class one is always the best choice. While in class and discussing a topic, where able to connect on a closer level because were able to see who we are sharing our views with. Also were able to feed off and be motivated by ones energy while there passionately discussing a topic that might be dear to them. Though this is possible through blackboard and twitter I feel that a live speech will always be more moving then reading some text.
