In the last few years “community” has taken on a whole different meaning. While community will always be a part of where you live and where you feel like you belong… I’ve noticed that students are finding community in unconventional places.
- School - Duh. This is a no brainer.
- Church - You get paid to make these observations McLane?
- Neighborhood - Seriously, why am I reading this?
- Sports - Yes, community here.
- Facebook, myspace, AIM, and other social networks - Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
- XBox Live - Really? Yup. Your students BFFs may live in another state or country!
- Online RPGs - Remember the angst about Dungeons and Dragons when we were kids? Now students may have community with people in their groups all over the world.
What are some other non-tradition places you see students finding community?
