3-412 - Twitter


Students of class 3-412,
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.

The # is a hashtag. If you are tweeting for the lab you will always use st. The 3 P. S. 10 hashtags are st. sw. bk. A tweet can be 140 characters. Pictures do count as characters. The computerLab Twitter name is P.S.10 tech. I think Twitter is cool because you can send a comment to the whole world. My thoughts about sending things to the world is cool because my family lives in New Zealand and they will see my tweet.

The # symbol is called a hashtag. You would use #PS10st. The three PS10 #s are PS10st, PS10bk, and PS10sw. There can be 140 characters on a tweet. Yes pictures do count as characters because you are pressing and tapping the iPad. The PS10 twitter name is PS10tech. I like twitter because you can write anything and then it goes out to all your twitter followers. I think that it is pretty cool to publish your thoughts to the whole world because then if they live in a different country, they could tern how you live and your culture.

The character # is called a hash tag. If I were tweeting in the lab I would use -JC. I do not know the answer to question 3. In twitter you can use 140 character. Pictures count as a lot of characters. The computer labs twitter name is P.S.10 Tech. I think twitter is cool because you are tweeting to the world! I would be nervous because you might be tweeting to a famous person or someone.

This symble: # is called a hashtag.
If I am tweeting for the class I use the hashtag ST that means student twitter.
The three P. S.10 #'s are ST, SW, P.S. 10 BK.
When you are tweeting you can only have 140 characters in your tweet.
Pictures do count as characters.
The computer lab twitter name is P. S. 10 Tech.
I think twitter is a good way to communicate with people who think think your life is interesting. I think this because people can see what your doing.
When I show something to the whole world I feel famous just because the whole world can see what wrote.
