5-403 - Twitter




Students of class 5-403,
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.

7.i think twitter is a little bad because if you make a mistake you'll never get it back and it may leave a big stain on your safety

3. #PS10st #PS10sw #ps10bk
4. 140 characters
5. Yes. But the amount of characters varies.
6. @PS10Tech
7. I think Twitter is a great way to communicate with friends online, and I think it's a great way to meet new people! I love how Twitter limits the amounts of characters you can write in a tweet, though it's frustrating at times. I also think it's a great way to teach online safety.
8. I think that Twitter should at least give you a confirm box before sending your ideas to the world. You could write something that you didn't really want to publish and accidentally send it. You could get a lot of hate for it and- worse case scenario- could lead to depression.

2. #ps10st
3. #ps10st

#ps10bk
4. Maximum: 140
5. Yes

7. I think twitter is a good because it lets you express your thoughts in a limited fashion. Hence, you have to think carefully about what you say. I also think it is good because it publishes your comment to the whole world.
8. I think publishing work to the world is awesome because other people around the world get to see your comments, current news, and you don't even have to have a twitter account you can just visit the website.

1.The # symbol is called a hashtag
2. #ps10sw
3. #ps10sw, #ps10st, #ps10bk
4. A Tweet can be 140 characters
5. Yes pictures count as characters
6. I think Twitter is not as good as Facebook because Twitter's Tweets are limited to 140 characters, while Facebook's comments have an unlimited number of characters.
8. I think it's cool and uncool to publish comments to the world, because if the comment/picture is for someone like family or friends, I don't want someone who can easily make fun of it to see the Tweet.

7. I think our twitter account is a good idea because it allows other schools to see what we do when school is in progress. Twitter is also a good exercise to teach us about writing in full sentences with correct punctuation and grammar. Twitter also allows people to talk to others millions of miles away from their home.
8. I think instantly publishing your work to the world is a bad idea because you might forget to write or fix something and the entire world will see your mistake.

7. I believe Twitter is a good way talk and share exciting news with "pen pals" (aka followers).But I also believe that the Internet isn't always the safest place. Check over what you post. Over all, my answer is twitter is good, but be carful

7)I think that twitter is really cool because it's a lot of fun going on twitter and looking at other peoples tweets.
8) I think it's really cool that other people get to see your tweets, because you might take a picture of something you might not get to see every day, and then once you tweet it, other people get to see the rare photo you took.

7. I think that Twitter is very cool. I think this because you can share your thoughts with different people around the world. You can also meet people you have never meet before.

8. I don't think that is smart. If you publish right away you don't have time to check your work. You can have silly grammar mistakes.
