Discussing Community Within a Community

 

Today in class we will continue our discussion of community. Begin by visiting some other students’ sites (you can use the Links page to get there or, if you have subscribed to individual course sites using Bloglines, use your account there to check) and seeing what they have written about community. Then, at your own site, post an entry considering what you have learned reading their entries. (Be sure to post a link to the entries you discuss so the site gets “pinged.”) Some things you might consider (you might think of others):

• What do communities have in common, or how are they different?
• How formal or informal are they?
• How do we as individuals relate to our community(ies)?
• Are communities of equal importance?
• How do online and offline communities compare?

Or just respond to what the person wrote…
