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.

Reaching out to two social work groups for which I am a member on Facebook turned out to be very worthwhile.

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"
