In comparison to Blackboard discussions, Twitter makes it much easier to communicate with one another. The posts are instant and a student can post immediately after someone posts. Also, the # sign makes it easier to find posts. In comparison to an in-class discussion, a Twitter discussion is very similar. The only difference being that Twitter is online, and the in-class discussion is in-person. However, in my opinion, I feel more comfortable having an in-class discussion because it is more personal.
I agree with your hashtag comment, it really helps with grouping ideas together. Again, I also agree with in-class discussion is the most efficient method of communication. Btw, colorful layout.
