How does a Twitter discussion compare to a blackboard discussion?

When you tweet, anyone can view it, but on a blackboard discussion only students registered in a particular class can view and respond. Conversations are happening all the time on Twitter, but blackboard conversations happen when requested by a professor. Blackboard discussions are used for educational purposes, and Twitter can be used to be involved in entertaining conversations, as well as political, educational, and any other conversations. You can use Twitter as a public journal. As for word/character count, blackboard has more freedom and space to express your opinions and/or expertise on a subject. Twitter has a very short character limit, therefore, you must choose your words wisely. Both sites are used to participate in conversation, but it is clear they are used differently and the platforms are overall different.

Everything is up to YOU.

Bloggers are able to focus on one subject, or multiple. Blogs are a place where you can freely express your opinions and/or expertise on a subject. On the other hand, Wiki is a collaborative website where you create, edit and structure content. You are to able to edit others' content, and they can edit yours. Also, you can plan events, and work on projects collectively. Today's networked world allows us to share information, ideas, or to educate others. When you compare blogs and wikis,  it is the same as comparing individual and collaborative. However, blogs can be collaborative; everyone can add useful information and comments on other peoples posts. According to the article, "Wikipedia to Limit Changes to Articles on People", individuals who are participants have the ability to edit, as I stated previously. For thi

Creativity and New Media

https://www.magisto.com/album/video/Jz9xRwddHANxJCwGDmEwCXt_?c=o&l=vsm&o=a For my example of how New Media fosters creativity, I mashed videos and photos I created, added a sound track and a title. I wanted to make a short clip that displays a few of my amazing experiences at music festivals with my best friends. I used Magisto, an online video editor. It is a mobile and web application for video editing and production. It allows users to add a creative aspect to videos and images they produce. What's great about this application is anyone can use it, professionals and non-professionals.
