My personal opinion on twitter vs blackboard discussion board, is that I'd prefer utilizing our blackboard discussion board. I feel with twitter, it's all over the place, and it's tough to reply to specific people, or create threads. With blackboard discussion, it's more straightforward, although you don't received updated notifications like you would with Twitter. Twitter is interesting, but can be tricky at times when using. Twitter discussion involves like the whole world, whereas blackboard discussion would be more intimate and consist of your peers. Twitter discussions typically can be all over the place, and can be hard to keep up with depending on the actions being taken on a particular tweet. People can retweet, like, reply, and there's a whole lot to do, but I'd rather keep it smaller and be able to relate to an online discussion board like blackboard's. An in-class discussion is obviously much different, because you're getting that face to face, human interaction. You're more vulnerable to criticism and reactions when involved in an in class discussion, whereas on the internet or on any online discussion you're free to say what you want, without the thought or feeling that someone is watching you literally. It's easier to be more confident posting and contributing in a discussion conducted online, that it is in class or in person.
