practicum- Kayla #7

The episodes are finally bringing in climatic material leading to better discussion and of course there no more posts to do. I was thinking how Glee provides for a participatory culture and how it seems that the digital divide on this particular forum seems less significant. Because of the material covered on Glee's episodes, people of varying orientation, ethnicity, age and background are coming to converse on this forum. Glee's message of acceptance has promoted the discussion of bullying and disorders and life lessons which allows a much broader audience to feel connected and passionate about getting involved in the forum. Obviously, there are groups that are omitted because of the participation gap but I feel Glee does a better job than other forums.
