Our group was given five topics to focus on and those topics were; task groups, weak associations, social categories, interactions, and Tuckman's five stages of groups. First I will talk about task groups, a task group is a work group brought together in an employment setting in a variety of non employment situations. An example of this is a group that I worked in for another one of my classes. We used an app called Slack which is a platform for groups of people to collaborate on anything that they want and we used it to schedule meeting times. The next topic that we focused on was weak associations. Weak associations are spontaneous meetings of people for a brief amount of time. A good example of this is snapchat because in snapchat there is a limited amount of time that the picture is available. The next topic that we discussed on our Wiki Page was social categories. Social categories are groups of people that are brought together through similar aspects of their social lives. A good example of this is dating sites where people are matched together based on their similarities. Another topic that we reviewed was interactions. Interactions are when individuals in a group are influenced by each others actions. A good example of this topic is when you react to someone's post in a Facebook group. Finally, the last topic that we discussed on this assignment was Tuckman's five stages of groups. The main point of this topic is that there are five stages of groups such as: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.

Wiki Pages
This week in class we were put into groups and teamed up to create a Group Wiki Pages page. Our assignment was to make a page that describes and provides examples for five different terms from the list of terms about group dynamics. Group dynamics is the processes involved when people in a group interact with each other, or the study of these. The purpose of these five definitions from within the study of group dynamics was to gives us a further insight into what goes into group work and the different forms that it is possible. By understanding how a group functions and what is important to make it successful, we will be able to use this knowledge in our studies of preexisting groups online to see what they have done fundamentally right and what they could possibly do better in the future.
