Twitter Blog

Blogging on Twitter and Blackboard as well as speaking in a classroom are  very different. I'll address the issue from an aspect of the setting. Twitter offers a very casual and private setting where users may not even know who each other are and therefore people feel comfortable and express themselves more freely. This freedom results in people saying whatever they feel; even adding obscene and uncensored content. On Blackboard however, people are a bit more confined and professional and the content is much more guarded and related to specific relevant topics. In the classroom, more vocal people usually contribute greater toward discussions and the shy or more introverted ones may not feel like contributing. Those who are less vocal in the classroom however, may find it more comfortable having their discussions online or under unanimity.
