I have also participated in a Facebook discussion forum. The topic is 'Internet makes users feel more lonely and alienated. Do you agree? Why?'.
I was a bit doubtful at first as it was my first forum discussion I am involved in. However, it was a good experience as I get to voice out my opinions and get to know how different users react and respond to the discussion. It was also great to receive replies and comments about the users point of view towards the topic.
Compared with the traditional face-to-face in-class discussions, online discussion are more engaging as you would not get interrupted when voicing out your opinion or afraid that people may shoot you with negative feedbacks or comments directly in your face or get laughed at. It was definitely a meaningful and a unique way of expressing your thoughts other then classroom activities.
Discussion forum is definitely going to be helpful for my research as the information I am able to receive would range widely. Furthermore, it is an easy way to acquire information too!
