3-410 - Twitter




Students of class 3-410,
Last week 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 last week 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.

That symbol is called a Hashtag, or it is means number.
You would use ps10st st stands for student twitter.
1 is ps10st 2 is ps10bk ps10sw.
You can use only 140 characters.
Pictures do count, they take up about 20 to 35 characters.
The computer lab twitter name is ps10tech.
I love it because it adds some more fun. It also teaches us about twitter and photography.
I think it is cool because you get a chance to tell the world who you are, but in a safe way because you tell them your name but not your last name or your house and stuff like that.

this symbol # is called a hashtag.I would use #PS10st and ps10sw. A tweet can be 140 characters. Yes pictures count as characters.The name is P.S.10 Tech.I think twitter is amazing because it's were you get to fill the followers in on what are class is doing. I think instantly publishing is a bad idea there should be a edit button so if you messed up you can fix it.

this # is called a hash tab.
the computer lab twitter name is ps10 technology but the website is ps10 tech.Yes pictures count about 20 or 30 characters.What i think about twitter is that it allows you to socialize with friends family or evan strangers! so i think that twitter is cool.
when you are tweeting you always use hash tabs,ps10st. What i think about instaly publishing to the world is that maybe a little to social because what if you wrote something private like a crush and you only meant to sent it to youre friend and you didnt know that it goes to the world!
the three are ps10st,ps10bk,ps10sw.
you can tweet 140 characters.

This symbol # is called a hashtag. You will always use ST or SW. They are ST SW and PT. There can be 140 characters. Pictures count as characters. P.S10 technology. I think twitter is okay. I don't really like that part because you can't get your work back if you don't like it.

This symbol # is called a hashtag. If you are tweeting for the lab always use the hashtag #ps10st. The three ps10 hashtags are #ps10st #ps10bk #ps10sw. The limit of characters you can use are 140. Pictures do count as characters. The ps10 computer lab twitter name is @ps10tech. I like twitter because its a simple fun social networking platform. I think it can be good to tell the world something unless the info is personal.

That symbol is called a hashtag. If I am tweeting from the lab the hashtag that we always use is st. The 3 P.S.10 hashtags are p.s.10 st,p.s.10sw,and I forgot the last one.
A tweet can be 140 characters. The computer labs twitter name is P.S.10 Tech. What I think about twitter is that it can be a harsh way to communicate because people can get cyber bullying but you can also connect with old friends so for that reason I half way like it. My thoughts about instantly publishing your work is eakk.
Because you might be mad at someone and right something bad about them then regret it 10min. later and want to get it back but you can't.

I don't know because i was absent.

Clare R said...

This symbol is called a Hashtag. If you are tweeting for the lab you use ps10st. The 3 hashtags are ps10st , ps10sw ,and ps10bk.You can use 140 characters. pictures do count as characters. The ps10 twitter name is ps10tech. I think twitter is great because Mr. Casal gets to teach us about twitter. I think publishing it to the world is bad because it might hurt someones feelings because everyone can read it.
