3-408 - Twitter


Students of class 3-408,
On Wednesday we did our first lesson about Twitter and how to post a tweet. Today we did a quick review.

I would like you to comment with answers to a few questions. This is a bit of a quiz on some of the terms we learned on Wednesday as well as a personal reflection.

Here are the questions (the first 6 are short answer, the last 2 are extended response)...





  1. what is the # symbol called?
  2. if you are tweeting for the lab what # will you always use?
  3. what are the 3 PS10 #s?
  4. how many characters can a tweet be?
  5. do pictures count as characters?
  6. what is the Computer Lab Twitter name?
  7. what do you think about Twitter?
  8. what are your thoughts about instantly publishing your work to the world?


Please answer all the questions. You are allowed to answer 1-6 as simple, short, responses. 7 & 8 need more detail in full & complete sentences.

We will review all the questions and answers, as well as all proper tweeting procedures once everyone has commented.

Thank you!


Remember - Comment as "Name/URL" and use your first name and last initial (proper capitalization, no URL)- please respond in full and complete sentences - double check your work before posting your comment.

1. The # symbol is called the hashtag.

2. #ps10st

3. #ps10bk, #ps10st, and #ps10sw.

4. 140 characters.

5. Yes. The address of a picture takes up more than 17 characters.

6. PS10 Tech.

7. think that Twitter is a nice social networking website to find info. You could follow people that could give you helpful info for what you like.

8. I think that once you publish a tweet, you can never get it back. If you choose to delete a tweet, someone might have already quoted or retweeted your tweet, so all of his followers could see. Then the other followers could retweet and retweet and it goes on and on and on.

PS10tech
I think that it is a great way to get information and to communicate with people YOU trust
I think there should be a way to pull it back but I think it is a good idea.

The # symbol is called a hashtag. When we are tweeting in the lab the hashtag we will always use is #ps10st. The 3 #'s for ps10 are #ps10bk, #ps10st, and #ps10sw. You can only use 140 characters in a tweet. Pictures do count as characters, in fact pictures count as more than one character. The computer lab's twitter name is PS 10 technology. I think twitter is a perfect way to communicate with people from far away or long distances. Twitter is also complicated though. I think publishing instantly is sort of cool but also dangerous. Publishing to the world is cool because so many people get to see it, but publishing to the world is also dangerous because you can never get your work back.

The # symbol is called a hashtag. When you are tweeting for the lab you always use the s t #. The three P.S 10 #s are b k, s t, and s w. The maximum number of characters is 140. Pictures do count as characters. The computer lab twitter name is P.S 10 tech. I think twitter is great because you can retweet things that other people tweet. You can also choose whose tweets you want to see. I think it's sometimes good because it's not just on a billboard the whole world can see it. It is only sometimes good because you might not feel good with the whole world be able to see it.

1.The # sign is called a hashtag.
2.When you are tweeting for the lab you will always the ST #.
3.The three P.S.10 # are ps10 ST, ps10 SW, and ps10 BK.
4. A tweet can be one hundred forty or less characters.
5. Pictures do count as characters.
6.The Computer Lab Twitter name is P.S.10 Technology.
7. I think twitter is a good website because it is a chance to learn new things as well as teach other people information, as well as a great source of communication.
8. I think it's sort of strange, because if practically the whole world can see your twit, then it can change from one sentence, to a paragraph and a picture that have nothing to do with what you wrote in the first place.

This little symbol # is called a hash tag. The hash tag you will always use is #ps10st. The three hash tag's are #ps10st, #ps10sw, and #ps10bk. A tweet can only be up to 140 characters. Pictures do count as characters. The Computer Lab Twitter name is PS10tech.

I think Twitter is very interesting. I like Twitter because instead of keeping your work inside your computer, you can really show it to people! I think it is a little scary posting to the whole world but, it is pretty fun! Like if someone re-tweets it you may have spelled something wrong.

7. What do you think about Twitter?
I think that Twitter is very interesting and cool. I think that because the only other website that I know how to use and post stuff is mrcasal.blogspot.com and we have to do assignments on it, not post what we feel like posting, and I like that.
8. What are your thoughts about instantly publishing your work to the world?
I think that instantly publishing my work to the world is col and kid of creepy. the reason I think it is cool is because it is so fast and everyone can see it. The reason I think it is creepy is because everyone can see it and you can never take back what you write on Twitter.

Whenever you make a tweet you have to put this symbol # this is called a hashtag. When you tweet for the lab you always have to use #ps10st and when you take a picture of student work you use #ps10sw and since the only hashtag I haven't mentioned is the one for home well this is it #ps10bk. When you tweet you have to be careful because you can only use 140 characters and spaces returns and punctuation count plus pictures count to as little as 17 characters and go up to 35. When you want to tweet go to PS10tech and it's called PS10 technology. I think twitter can be a safe social network if you want it to, for example some people tweet every time they go out but you can use it in a way that's very careful. If you pick wisely about who you want to follow and trust you won't get false information. Also it makes nice lessons and stuff to blog about. I agree that you should not press the blue tweet button unless someone has checked your work because then you have published a tweet to the whole world and can't get it back. Besides what if you have a mistake but you already published it everyone can see it
