Technology Standards - NASW & ASWB

Reaching out to two social work groups for which I am a member on Facebook turned out to be very worthwhile. Even though it has only been 16 hours since posting, there has only been one comment made and not expecting to get much more! That's ok. Just the one person made a short comment that opened up a treasure trove of findings.

For one, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) in collaboration with other leading organizations in the field released an update to the Standards for Technology in Social Work Practice on June 21, 2017. It has been 12 years since the last edition was released, see the 2005 version here if you're interested in comparing. In between this time, the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) did have an international task force that released Model Regulatory Standards for Technology and Social Work Practice in 2015, I found this through Social Work Today: Eye on Ethics.

Second, the commenter made me aware of this^ and directed me to the Social Work Podcast facebook page for more information. Here's the link to the Social Work Podcast blogspot, you can subscribe to the podcast via iTunes and they also have a variety of social media profiles.

I am going to write a separate post on one of their episodes regarding Death, Grief, and the Digital Age.

I love how the producer provides all the references and even an APA citation of the podcasts, I'm interested to look into this one as well:

Reflections & Excerpts

Finishing my degree with independent studies, satisfying remaining electives, was a great opportunity to apply and synthesize my learning throughout the Masters of Social Work (MSW) program. My proposed studies were both focused on the intersection of social work and new technology. In light of choosing the concentration in Policy/Planning, Administration, and Community (PAC) and my interests in new technologies and social media, I wanted to consider macro implications and innovations. Below are some excerpts from the cumulative paper I wrote for my independent studies. Introduction New technologies actively change the face of social work research, education, and practice. In fact, in the United States, there are few societal domains untouched by the information age and digital revolution, which is regularly redefined by emergent technologies. Social media and apps (which intertwine with the devices that animate them) are particularly disruptive innovations that both advance the fi...

Attention Economy

Image found on  E-nvironmentalist Attention Economy ? I did "Google'd" it and found this thorough GitBook: Decentralised Attention Economies for Web 3.0 by Maciejolpinski  (updated two years ago) Tristan Harris has this to say: E-nvironmentalist  has two domains (natural & digital) and two authors (Alex Beattie & John Lang); it is definitely worth a look if you ask me. If only for the impressive user interface and well done integration of topics and gaphics. Check out these posts: HOW TO DISCONNECT IN THE ATTENTION ECONOMY: PART I & HOW TO DISCONNECT IN THE ATTENTION ECONOMY: PART II I believe it was Alex Beattie who created this useful google document with tools to assist marshalling one's attention  ...? I found the link via a FB group called "Friends of Time Well Spent"
