4-407 - Twitter



Students of class 4-407,
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.

1. Hashtag
2. #p10st
3. #ps10st #ps10sw #ps10bk
4. 100 characters
5. yes
6. @ps10tech
7. I think twitter is not so great for non-adults because a lot of times kids dont know what the heck their talking about, or thinking about the danger of how fast it can be sent around the world to millions and millions of people
8. I think that the owner of the twitter page has to see the tweet before anyone else can. I think this because it could be offensive to the owner, and if its instantly published, there's no stopping it.

4.Either 40 or 140, I can't remember.

5.Yes

6. Ps10 tech.

7.I can't really say because I don't really have a opinion. I like it because it's a fast way to talk to people, but it also can be misused. I'm not angry a twitter it's self, it's usually human error, but it could be a bit more secure.

8.Again I don't have a opinion. I can say hello in good intent and someone can take it as hate mail. I can say Stop and someone can take it as a joke. I'll say what I'll say and people can take how they want to.

Stella A said...

The symbol that you presented is called a hashtag
When I am tweeting I know I should always use, #st.
#ps10st #ps10sw #ps10bk
there is a maximum of 140 characters in a tweet
pictures count as characters
the computer lab Twitter name is www.twitter.com/ps10tech
I think twitter is a good opportunity for kids because it auto corrects us and it gives us a challenge of only a maximum of 140 characters
I feel a tiny bit uncomfortable posting in the open because Im worried that people might make fun of my mistakes

Steven.Z said...

1. I is called hashtag

2.@

3. #ps10st, #ps10sw, ps10bk

4. There could only be 140 characters

5.yes

6. @ps10tech

7. I think twitter is really unsafe because if you protect something and another person can take a picture of it. If they take a picture of it it's no longer protected. If that person sends it out the guy's friend act by the end the whole world saw it

8. I feel really nervous because the people that I don't even know will see it
