Thematic Connection: Differentiating Spaces, Both Real and Virtual
Last Tuesday, we talked about clothing and community engagement. Depending on where we are in the community and what we’re doing, we may need to dress in different ways.
Today, we’re going to talk about something similar: we often need to act in different ways depending on where we are or what we’re doing. This is true both in “real life” and also online in virtual spaces, like Zoom!
- What’s something that you would do at home that you wouldn’t do at program? Why?
- What’s something that you might do while hanging out with friends that you wouldn’t do at work? Why?
- Why do/should we act differently at home, at work, at program, and with friends?
- At home, you probably sleep in your bedroom. Many of us join online programming from our bedrooms. Does that mean it’s okay to sleep during online programming?
- How should we act on Zoom during online programming?
- What if you were just video chatting with one friend or with your family? How might you act differently?
