| For this assignment, we will use twitter to have an online discussion with your professor and classmates. Go to Twitter and login and post a tweet regarding one of the articles you read about twitter. Please note that tweets (similar to a status update) on Twitter are only allowed to be up to 140 characters long. In order to get full credit for this assignment, you must: 1. Post a tweet about one of the Twitter assigned readings. NOTE: Include #3810<yoursection> - e.g., #3810NET1A - in each of your tweets or replies to others' tweets. This way each class section of CIS 3810 can easily find all tweets in the discussion. The # symbol in twitter is a tag which helps when searching through tweets. 2. Respond to at least two classmates' tweets. Remember in order to respond to someone on twitter you need to use the @ symbol. For example, if you want to reply to a student whose username is veronica, you will begin your tweet with @veronica. If you don't reply right away, it might be best to use RT (retweet) and include some words from the original tweet in your response - just enough so 'veronica' knows what you are responding to. Your tweet would then start with: "RT @veronica <section you copied from veronica's tweet>". And don't forget the class section tag. Of course that leaves you with very few characters for your reply so try to respond quickly. Responding to old tweets without RT-ing can be confusing. Remember to do both steps to get full credit for this assignment. |
