Blog about Twitter

A twitter discussion compares to a blackboard discussion, in the way of post and replies. In blackboard you can create a post, with as many characters as you'd like and other blackboard students are able to reply to your tweet. This is similar to twitter's tweet and comment feature, where a tweet is created and other users of twitter are able to comment on the original tweet. Both platforms are similar to an in-class discussion because the person that is usually in the front usually the professor, who poses questions and statements about a subject. Students raise their hands to comment on what the professor says, which relates to the post and comment idea. When a student raises a new idea or question, it is like starting a new thread in blackboard because it is a post with a different idea. Other students and the professor can comment on the student's statement, which then again relates to the comment features of Blackboard and Twitter.

Whereas a Wiki, is more of a collaborative platform, since multiple users can add, edit, and change content. For example, " Wikis, by contrast, ar e collaborative only i n retrospect someone has to be prepared ...

How Is Media Policy and Regulation Different In Other Countries?

Rules and regulations are different across each country; the same applies to media policy and regulations. I find it interesting to see how media policy is regulated in other countries, especially the internet being one of the largest media providers. Even though the internet may be used for media in every country, there are media policies and regulations that formulates the differences in media content in each country.  Some may say, that here in the U.S we have great media rights due to the first amendment (freedom of speech/press), but others may say that the first amendment is not fully enforced which restricts the content of media. I will go over, the similarities and differences of media policy and regulation in other countries and how that shapes the content that is produced. Not only does media policy and regulations affect media information, but this also affects the way people in other countries receive information. In a sense, the government's regulations and media polic...
