Searching for Teachers :: Online Communities Web Essays

probing for TeachersSection I- What I Know?When I was first assigned to frame about online communities I thought the first thing I bespeak to find out is, What is an online community? I was told online communities ar aims where people tot up together and communicate online.After I found out what online communities are I had somewhere to start, get it on the question is What is my online community experience? That is non a hard question being that I do not do much experience with online communities. My computer experience is somewhat limited. I have done some research on the computer, but as far as living in a community online or even visiting a community online I have rattling little experience.On a few occasions I have visited some call in rooms. Ive heard a lot about online blurt rooms and Ive heard chat rooms are supposed to be the in thing know-a-days. This is one aspect of online exploring that doesnt interest me so much. I think the name chat rooms should be changed. Yes, it is a protrude where people go online and chat, but I think it should be called the creative world. Chat rooms are a great place for people to explore their creative side. Anyone can go into a chat room and create a contrastive life for themselves or just now create different stories. My cousin for example goes on line and chats with people. She doesnt needs create a different life for herself, but she does create different ways to avoid telling people about herself. She may trounce to the same person for months and never even tell them whether she is female or male. She just creates new ways to avoid the questions. I believe in a way it keeps her stimulated, it lets her explore her creative side. It stimulates her imagination.Most of what I know about the meshwork comes from what others have told me. Until recently I didnt use the Internet often. It is not like I am on all the meter now, but Ive just recently started exploring more and fearing less of the Internet. I was real intimidated and in a way I still am. plainly it is always fun and exciting to explore, after all that is who America got discovered.
