A twitter discussion is very similar to a blackboard discussion. In both of these discussions, students are posting their thoughts and assignments and it gives other students the chance to read through each of their post and leave a comment toward their posts. In my opinion, you cannot get any better then an in class discussion because of the fact that facial expressions and emotion cannot be felt at the extent on a post online as if you were discussing face to face. During in class discussions you are also speaking freely of your mind instead of second guessing what you are typing on a post. Although after doing this Twitter discussion for this assignment, I believe that it is easier to perform a discussion through twitter with the help of the hashtag rather than blackboard. On blackboard you have to click on each link to bring you to a students actual post, on Twitter you click on the hashtag and everyones posts are right there with one click.
