Have you ever closed your eyes while watching television? Or perhaps, you are like me and have a show tuned on while in another room just out of eyesight?
In the virtual classroom, we mimicked that experience with a few minor differences. If we missed something or were unable to decipher what was happening based on sound alone, we didn’t have the convenience of popping our heads around the corner and rewinding the scene. We did, however have the ability to confere with other audience members via twitter.
This was not my first live-tweet, not do I think it will be my last. I love live-tweeting show season finales, juicy reality shows, and important political addresses. It’s a fun way to invite thousands of strangers into your living room to shout opinions, feelings, and thoughts about the same stuff you find interesting.
For this live-tweet, we were listening to Jessica Jones, a network television show. I tweeting up a storm that really discussed my amazement and thoughts about the process of listening rather than viewing.

Jessica Jones, so I had a totally different view of the title character at first

Amazing how much you can feel from the music and sighs without seeing her face. #ds106radio #ds106

I think it’s even more suspenseful not seeing it. +I get a kick out of thinking about a family sitting around the to radio vs Tv #ds106

I also enjoyed being able to engage fellow listeners when I had questions, as well as answers.
I thought this same thing!!

Yeah. I like the way it’s hinted at but not explained outright #ds106

You can find out what happened in the recap of the episode on Jessica Jones wiki page, it’s impossible to tell via radio #ds106 #ds106radio

Overall, it was a great way to spend a hour, and I’m really glad the chosen show was so interesting. As a fellow classmate stated:
#ds106 I never had an interest in Jessica Jones, but after listening to ds106 Radio I’m hooked!
