I think this has harmed social skills in people and made communities separate. ]]> 2021-10-07 22:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801012495 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801015180 The community of students does not have as many opportunities to connect because of the awkwardness of zoom classes. ]]> 2021-10-07 22:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801015180 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801062582 The pandemic has changed the way people interact with one another and has made them less social because they are so used to social distancing and not going to school, only attending zoom calls. ]]> 2021-10-07 22:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801062582 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801111472 Communities have changed in many ways. They have had to meet over zoom, stop events, postpone activities. This has caused others to become anti social or develop social anxiety. Many others could lose interest in this community if they do not actively participate in events. ]]> 2021-10-07 23:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801111472 kerwinshaake https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801197781 The pandemic has made me closer to the basketball teammates and my roommates.  We interact with each other more than other people so that we stay healthy.  If one us gets sick, the team can't practice or play.  We even mask at practice.]]> 2021-10-08 00:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801197781 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801227354 With physical limitations being involved, the pandemic created a virtual reality and now is used as one of the most primal forms of communication. These new innovations provide a better way to connect with more people at once for convince, however it also restricts a deeper connection towards specific individuals. The visible and actual presence of another person is what builds the best relationship.]]> 2021-10-08 00:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801227354 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801383735 I've become closer to the art community because of the pandemic. Needing a way to distract myself from not being able to go out all the time led me to explore more creative outlets like painting.]]> 2021-10-08 01:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1801383735 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1802861435 Many communities have not been able to meet or go do certain activities together because of the pandemic. Everyone has had to distance their selves and keep contact at a minimum, making it hard for communities to do the things they do together. I have not distanced myself from any communities, I continued to be a part of my community partly because we still had to work during the pandemic so we were all still close and able to do what we do. ]]> 2021-10-08 15:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1802861435 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1803060500 the pandemic has changed communities in a lot of really big ways for instance people have had to adapt for things such as sports. seeing as there are limitations in how close people can be as well as wearing masks it definitely makes it harder to play certain sports. Even still with these certain restrictions people find ways to make it work including still being themselves while focusing on staying safe. ]]> 2021-10-08 17:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1803060500 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1803098341 covid has changed the way communities establish connections because people were forced to quarantine from others and social distance themselves. They probably had to do zoom meetings instead of meeting in person which can affect their connections because they can't talk in person. ]]> 2021-10-08 18:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1803098341 https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1811666238 The pandemic has changed the way communities interact with one another due to quarantine, zooms, or social distancing. I feel the pandemic has made people less social, or have social anxiety if they didn't have it before. For me, I'm already a shy person, so when quarantine hit, and things started going back to normal I did have a bit of social anxiety. Getting involved with ceramics helped me a lot through the pandemic, it was therapeutic for me. Gave me the chance to interact with others and feel free. ]]> 2021-10-12 18:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amableribeiro/hnhj8eg8wvegqu6r/wish/1811666238
