Twitter discussions, blackboard discussions, and in-class discussions are all different in their own ways. Twitter and blackboard discussions are similar in the fact that they are internet discussions that people that follow you or are in your class can see and comment on. I feel that the main difference between the two is how much can be said. On Twitter we are limited to a character count. So, for us to express an opinion or summarize an article we have to be short, simple, and to the point. For blackboard discussions on the other hand have no character limit. We can write as much as we want and will be able to get a point across in a single post. To make a point on Twitter can be for example 3 posts and may lose its feel because of that.

When it comes to Twitter discussions and in-class discussions they relate on the fact that it is constant back and forth on opinions or ideas or whatever the topic may be. Twitter has notifications if a comment is made on your post and you can respond and keep going. It is similar to a in-class discussions if there is agreements or counters on a response. But, in an in-class discussions they are immediate with no breaks in between comments. In-class is face to face and not behind a screen where maybe you look up things to further prove your point.
