How does a Twitter discussion compare to a BlackBoard Discussion?




Twitter might sound one of the difficult social media platforms but it is not to be honest when i first started using twitter it was complicated. Since a tweet is limited to 140 characters, it only allows for a discussion relevant to the topic to occur. The character limit can also be a frustration when trying to have a discussion because not all relevant information one wants to post can be done under one tweet. Instead, they would have to tweet multiple times if they go over the 140 character limit. Twitter only allows for simple discussions which in my opinion is a major flaw.

BlackBoard discussion is similar to a Twitter discussion, without the character limit. BlackBoard provides more technological features to help groups with collaborations. It also encourages users to research and provide reliable sources when having a discussion. A BlackBoard discussion will result in users providing the most refined answers. I believe BlackBoard will encourage the most educated answers.

BlackBoard discussion is good but it really need to be updated, thats why i cannot wait to do my presentation to show you guys what kind of an idea i have to improve out grades.

    Yeah, I feel the same way with twitter. As it limits your messages to 140 characters,Twitter could only be used for short discussions with blackboard students could discuss things more easily as it is already widely used by most schools nowadays. Blackboard will only continue to grow as it is the top mobile education app with colleges and even schools like K12, the online school. On blackboard students could have large discussions with partially the whole class if they wanted.

As such, Myspace and Facebook are targeted social networks with privacy and confidentiality concerns. People usually disclose and expose unnecessary information to the general public that of which can backfire against them. Because individuals have been carelessly revealing such information as their phone numbers, addresses, sibling names, birthdays, and many more, this revelation may lead to identity theft and harm the individual or their loved ones. Also, the exposure of certain information may lead to stalking, sexual harassment, and other types of potential attacks that can invade their privacy. Because new media is taking our identities and privacy to a new level, the community must be aware of the privacy settings and options that are available for them in order to manage their profile so that it remains exclusive

Wiki So Far

I've been talking about how soccer team should focus on developing players from their youth academy and how they shouldn't invest so much money at a 16 17 year old kid, because they can turn out to be a flop in the future and how youth Soccer has evolved into a fiercely competitive arena. More and more children are leaving recreational leagues to play in highly competitive select leagues. Select leagues are made up of teams, which players must tryout or be selected to play for. I had the unfortunate task of being an evaluate at such a tryout. Fifty ten-year-old boys had come out for a three day tryout in which forty five of them were placed on three teams. Cuts were made on the field and for those boys who had made a team it was a very exciting, but for the five boys who were cut it was absolutely heartbreaking. Had the children been older they might have been able to deal with the disappointment better, but for most of them it was their first real experience with publ

For out school the advice would faster Wifi because many students, staff, and professors complain about it and it is becoming a huge problem for Brooklyn College. The campus is antique and beautiful. Its not high tech or vast like other cunys however once you enter, its as if youre in another world. Especially during spring when all the flowers come into bloom are everywhere to be found. Brooklyn College is an great institute but some of the old school non-technological existences bothers lots of students. "The wifi is horrible, buildings are obsolete, virtually anybody can enter the campus, other students are disrespectful and rude, area is not safe at night, no food around campus, and the professors are horrible." this is quote from a anonymous student who commented about our school and its problems.
