Paper one

In “Child care social work & the Internet.” I wrote
that...

“The Internet is here to stay.”

The Internet is here to stay!

Thenthere were an
estimated 40 million
internet users worldwide
Seemed like a
lot

But the digital divide remains
![Page 12: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
I also wrote that...

“While it is true that an important component of the
Internet is the global distribution of information....”

“...over emphasis on this function draws attention away from the value of
the Internet as a participatory medium for communication,
networking, and building & maintaining communities of interest.”
![Page 15: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A participatory medium for communication, networking, and
building & maintaining communities of interest?

However…for a long time the Internet was a sprawling library of contentWith
some shopping
malls

Web 2.0
arrived

What is web 2.0?“…a perceived second generation of web-based communities and
hosted services — such as social-networking sites, wikis and
folksonomies — which aim to facilitate collaboration & sharing
between users.”

“...the real impact of new technology in social work
education and training may not arise from heavy investment in
externally designed courseware…”
![Page 25: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
“...it is the use of electronic networking in social work education that will enable a
paradigm shift.....away from a conception of new technology as
a a means of distributing information…”

“...towards an understanding of the role of learning
technology in supporting active learning &
educational dialogue...”

What Yanno wrote...
![Page 28: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“social work is essentially about human interaction
which cannot be replaced by a computer...”
I agree but…
![Page 29: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
learning is essentially about human interaction which can be supported by a computer
![Page 30: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“….a good trainer never actually uses the materials available - they pick and
choose and modify to suit the students they are working with...”
Yanno also wrote that…
![Page 31: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
and he’s right...
![Page 32: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
online content needs to permit adaptation &
modification
![Page 34: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
and online learning ought not to be about content
alone
![Page 35: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
but also about conversations
![Page 36: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Is there strongevidence thatany of this is
“changing the face of social work
education & training”?
![Page 40: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Is the network revolution transforming the nature of learning?
Improving what is learned?
How quickly it is learned?
How much is learned?
…and doing this more than traditional teaching technologies?
![Page 41: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
No… technology does not cause learning
"The best current evidence is that media are merevehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck thatdelivers our groceries causes changes in our nutrition" Clark (1983)
![Page 42: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
But…the affordancesof learning technology can support
effective pedagogical design.
And help make learning:more efficient…
more consistent…more flexible…
more affordable…more accessible
![Page 43: Eindhoven290208](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/558a58f0d8b42a7d468b475e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Many studies suggestthere is
no significant differencebetween learning with
technologyand with more
traditional methods

But when studies suggestthere is no significant difference
between counselling skillsdeveloped working online
or face to facethen that is significant.

Whilst the Internet and the sum of human

grow at an alarming rate…
