Tweet backs 7

"Although I mainly used the tool to check updates about the class, I thought it was really cool to see the comments of others."
"I also thought that the incorporation of Twitter was a great way to offer students a break from blogging. In this class, blogging was rigorous and had a lot of rules and restrictions as to what had to be posted, and what shouldn’t be posted. Twitter was so much more casual and laid back, so students like me were free to express whatever feelings came up. My biggest complaint about Twitter was the character limitation."
"In other words, I didn’t follow anyone specifically, but rather used Twitter as a classroom resource to check comments and updates on assignments and thoughts on assignments. However, Twitter certainly did not impede my interaction with others. I thought it was a great tool to have in order to provide a space that was exclusively dedicated to us and our needs."
"I was never concerned with posting what I was doing, but if I wanted to address something about the class or say a quick thought about how I was feeling, I would do that. It is a useful outlet to vent in, not just update what you’re doing at that particular moment.
One respectable attribute I observed in my limited use of Twitter was the lack of privacy concerns. I didn’t receive spam e-mails because of my membership, and I didn’t post personal information. In a program like Twitter, it is entirely up to the users discretion as to what he/she wants to post, and outside of that, no one really bothered you, so I didn’t see a problem. My issue with Twitter was that sometimes when I would post a question, it would go unnoticed. To me, e-mail is more of a guaranteed way to receive a response because you are addressing one person in more of a private way."
