Community Project
I finally decided to do my community project on Club Penguin, a online social website for children. This has worked out very well for my busy schedule because I am able to observe the community anywhere. I am also really interested in what kids do on the website. In my opinion so far, Club Penguin is promoting children to live online through avatars instead of in real life. I am very interested in children, so I am going to have a lot to say about this community. At first, I was concerned about how I would do interviews. I quickly realized that most of the children I know use Club Penguin, so I can contact them and interview them. I have created my own penguin for the game and have been taking observations. I will start my interviews this weekend.

I think this is a very interesting community to observe because of its connection to media and technology that we have been discussing this semester. I am intrigued because I also have never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to interviews it sounds like the children and parent perspective will be important.
