Digital Social Work: Tools for Practice with Individuals, Organizations, and Communities

Editat de Lauri Goldkind, Lea Wolf, Paul P. Freddolino
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 ian 2019
In a rapidly advancing technological culture, social work practitioners are frequently challenged to invent new strategies to meet client needs and foster social change. Despite the Council on Social Work Education's new standards for technology in social work practice, few schools of social work teach the use of technology for practice, and many instructors struggle with the integration this increasingly necessary dimension into education. Digital Social Work is designed to offer engaging, meaningful, and easy-to-use technology content that can be incorporated into generalist and advanced social work practice courses. The chapters in this volume offer instructors and students insight into the knowledge, skills, and values required of those who practice social work 2.0; by providing concrete examples of technology tools, they complement traditional social work curricula dealing with micro, mezzo, and macro systems. Chapters can be used singly--to augment Practice, Research, or Policy courses--or can provide a format to discuss technology in courses addressing practice with individuals, youth, and families. Virtual worlds, social media, GIS, blogs, and many other technology tools are represented in this collection.

Recenzii

In what is certainly the study's most striking aspect, Scaglia claims that 'in the 1920s and 1930s, concerns about what people felt came to drive virtually every aspect of international life, from politics to leisure, from education to health'. In using inter war Alpine internationalism as a laboratory, she seeks to explain how emotions 'became a fundamental feature of internationalism, long shaped its development, and constitute an essential dimension of international history to this day'.
The volume enlarges our understanding of the spirit of an age in terms of one of its most significant creations: a whole spectrum of internationalisms.
The book delicately balances between demonstrating, through numerous case studies, what are wonderful novel opportunities of technology and envisioning what could be possible in the future and which paths should be explored.
