I believe Twitter is really is useful way to discuss The Adventures of Hucklebbry Finn. First of all, I think it’s a good way for me to express my ideas. I can post my tweets base on what I think about the novel, but not necessarily answer any specific questions. Secondly, since we have the assignment that we should post 5 tweets and either retweet or respond to five others’ tweet, I have to read the novel more carefully so i can have something to write down. Last but not least, I learn many interesting ideas that I would elsewise never realize if I do not use it. From reviewing what other people say, I collect many important arguments that I can use on my paper.

Revisiting Twitter as a Tool for Reading/Writing

Posted on March 13, 2014 by Andrew Yeo

Twitter ultimately did prove more useful than otherwise.  One of the greatest mechanisms it had to offer, among many, was the use of crowd sourcing ideas and many instances of ensuing discussions thereof.  One of my favorite moments was as follows: seeing … Continue reading →
