Blog about Twitter
In my view, users of Twitter can openly debate any topic and do not have to give a correct answer, but rather their own view. In contrast, Blackboard discussions are highly governed by professors and people need to follow the lead of professors in their discussions and provide support. Since characters are small on Twitter, most discussions and comments are quick and are not based on a valid basis. On Twitter, conversations can be formal or informal and can go out to all fans and be retweeted to other people, generating a very wide community. Both Black-board discussions and Twitter discussions are in the form of brief, structured written comments, but classroom discussions can be very engaging with professors and other students, as the media of discourse is speech and face-to - face encounters that enable students to see each other's facial and physical experiences during discussions.
In summary, I agree that Twitter
conversations are the most opinion-based debates and will lead to fewer retweets
and claims coming to an end. Blackboard conversations are the most structured,
highly supervised, resource-based conversations, culminating in analytical
debates, and well-educated conversations. In-person meetings are the most open
and stimulating debates that provide an atmosphere that allows people to raise
their voices that share their views.
You bring a great focus to the difference in professionality among the platforms and I agree with your opinions. Twitter has been most utilized to simply state one's opinion without much analytical evidence. While Blackboard discussion posts promote and require further detail, greeting, and evidence to express that same opinion.
