5-405 - Twitter




Students of class 5-405,
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.

Okay hi this is Eitan. Lets get started...
My answers:
1. The #sign is a hashtag for twitter
2. #PS10st and #PS10sw
3. #PS10st #PS10sw #PS10bk
4. 140 characters
5. Pictures count as a certain amount of characters depending on the size of storage of the picture
6. PS 10 Technology

Extended Response:
7. I think Twitter is a nice source of communicating and chatting. Also it could tell people about your day. So use Twitter wisely! It could be very fun but could be very dangerous too.
8. I think if you instantly publish your work it could be great because you don't have to go through the trouble of clicking publish and then having a box that says " are you sure you want to publish?" With Twitter all you have to click is "tweet", and it's out there. It could be bad because if you make a mistake it could reveal different information and strangers could hack your account or start to follow you.

Those are my answers.

7. I say that twitter is really cool. I like how you can tweet what you're doing and how you can recommend other peoples tweets.

8. I say that that is kind of scary because once you publish something it means anyone can read it or retweet anything and make it yours.

2. #ps10st
3. #ps10st, #ps10bk, and #ps10sw
4. 140
5. Yes.
6. PS10Tech
7. I think twitter is really great but not safe sometimes. I think twitter is great because you can communicate and say what you are doing and take pictures but I think it is not safe because you are saying something to the world that you might want to be private.
8. I think that that is not safe and if you do you should probably not put your address or phone number or email.

I believe tweeter can be good when used correctly. It is a good way to meet new people but it can expose things you don't want to tell people.
I don't think you should. If you do something wrong it could look bad for P.S.10

7.I think its good and bad.
I say that because, you have limited stuff such as text.
The bad thing is that someone could change your text.

8.Well, I think its kind of cool because you share ideas to the world. But remember you cant delete it because if someone retweets it you cant delete it.
Thats it.
