4-411 - Twitter




Students of class 4-411,
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.

140 characters can be used. @Ps1Tech, is the Computer Lab Twitter name. My thoughts for instantly publishing my work to to the world is scry!! Scary because you do not know who will be reading your comment, it is also very exiting because you are posting something that you wrote, and people will be reading it so that is very interesting. Yes, pictures do count as characters. I think twitter is very nice. Its nice because when you do not want to say something you could just type it. Without getting in trouble. The symbol # stands for P.S.10st.

Twitter is a very great way to met other people and other places like P. S. 10 Tech. Also its another way to communicate and to get to know strangers.
My thoughts are that if you publish something great , everybody will see it.

The symbol/# is called a hashtag. If your ever tweeting the # that you will all ways use is #ps10st if your a student. The three PS10 #s are #ps10st, #ps10sw, and #ps10bk. A tweet can be 140 characters long. Pictures do count as a character. The computer lab twitter name is PS10 Tech. I think twitter is fun and can teach kids about the real world. My thoughts are kind of scared, and kind of excited.

The # symbol is called a hashtag. If you are tweeting it is used to tell what someone is tweeting about, where it is being made, and if a student is the one tweeting. The first hashtag is #ps10st, the second is #ps10sw, and the third is #ps10bk. A tweet can only be 140 characters. A character is anything you type on the computer including pictures. The computer lab twitter name is ps10tech. I think twitter is a good thing because it gives people from different countries a chance to chat. I also think its bad because whatever you wright is instantly published to the world so whatever you wright will stay there forever.
