5-401 - Twitter



Students of class 5-401,
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 # symbol is called a hash tag. I do not know the answer for questions 2 and 3 because I was helping the person next to me. In a tweet there can be 140 characters. Yes, pictures take up characters. The computer lab Twitter name is @ps10Tech. I think Twitter is neat. I think this because you can write however you want. Instantly publishing your world is good and bad. It's good because if you need to tell someone something fast you can publish it and if they are looking they will see it almost instantly. It's bad because if you are angry and you write something really mean and you publish it it's there for the whole world to see.

The # symbol is called a hashtag and if I was tweeting I would use #PS10sw and #PS10st those are all of the # also those are the ones I will use. I'm not sure how many characters a tweet can be but I think the number is 125 pictures don't count. P.S10 computer lab's twitter name is P.S.10. Honestly I do not think twitter is cool for my opinion because I am not a social media type of person also publishing thoughts in the world makes me feel watched so I don't like that stuff.
