Twitter can be confusing, mad unorganized and contains a lot of ads. There are a lot of distractions whereas BlackBoard contains a very straightforward user interface. Twitter also limits you to a smaller amount of characters which makes conversations and discussions very straight to the point. BlackBoard enables you to write more about your thinking and thoughts behind a specific discussion.
An in-class discussion allows the conversation to flow in a very personable way. It allows people to be passionate about the conversation and it will be easier to see their true standpoint on a specific topic. An in-class conversation provides transparency to the discussion and when you use Twitter you can easily hide your true intentions. I feel like all these forms of discussion are necessary as our society evolves but the most transparent type of conversation is still a face to face one.
