Mark, Kudos to you for seeing the discussion board as the "classroom". You capture what many of us want in an online course, the feeling of togetherness of the class. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Benefits of Microblogging Activities

Mark, I agree with you. We had the discussion yesterday about the damage to the succinctness of writing done by making students write 500 words or 1000 words. They don't see the importance of the writing they only see the need of words, any words. (Just my thoughts). Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
