Twitter is a great social networking site utilized to facilitate conversations on current events.
The difference between Twitter and a blackboard discussion would probably be that Twitter facilitates a way larger variety of conversations. Blackboard has a limit to what the course is specific to and what the professor wants the students to discuss, but there are conversations on Twitter, with the whole world, about all things happening.
Twitter discusses things in real-time. This is probably the biggest difference between Twitter and an in-class discussion. You're also not limited to a set number of opinions which is the professor and students of the class. Anyone is free to jump into the loop or choose to just spectate.
