Blog about Twitter

I found the twitter discussion surprisingly to be a fun activity. Since the characters are limited, things are more concise compared to BlackBoard. In addition, it is easier to reply and comment on Twitter. Likewise a great feature that Twitter has but BlackBoard doesn't is the like feature. Through this button, students are able to easily recognize when their peers agree with what they have to say without going through a long process. It is also easier to view comments via hashtags whereas on BlackBoard you would have to click on each individual to see what they wrote. However, I believe in-class discussions overall are be much better than Twitter discussions because face to face conversations are more meaningful. Through in class discussions you get to experience the tone and the gesture of the student. This is something you cannot tell from online sources.

One interesting thing that I learned about virtual worlds is from the CNN article called Going to the virtual office in Second Life . According to this source, business are using Second Life to have virtual meetings. This is advantageous for companies because it allows for conferences remotely. This can cut down on time consumption. Likewise, the US government also finds virtual worlds to be advantageous because it allows for them to conduct training and develop prototypes. Some of the disadvantages of virtual worlds consist of lag time, and getting the laws of physi...
