Online Groups

In our last class, we read an article and talked about Internet groups and whether they are beneficial. Internet groups are very helpful with keeping all of the members up to date with the group and well informed. They make it easier to plan events and for group members to connect with one another. A problem may arise if group members do not check the group website very often. The age groups that are most likely to participate in Internet groups seem to be high school, college and early adults. Groups also encourage participation from those that may not participate in person; a shy person can say their opinions without feeling judged.

I am part of several clubs at Bloomsburg that use groups on Facebook to keep in touch between meetings. This helps me remember when the next group meetings are as well as when events are going on with the club. It is also a great way for us to get any questions we have about anything, even something not related to the club, answered very quickly.  I really like the Facebook groups because I think they are very beneficial for members of the group as long as people use them.
