Responding to CSWE Technology Guidelines

Abstract

In spite of the dramatic increase in the volume of information on computer technology in social work, very little has been written about how this technology might be incorporated into existing curricula. What is needed is an overview of how computers have been used in social work practice and in educational settings that can serve as a starting point for social work faculty who are in the process of computerizing aspects classes and curricula. An extensive survey of the literature explored and classified literature on computing in social work by teaching style and curriculum content area. The authors discuss these approaches and consider how computer applications developed for practice settings might be adapted and incorporated into social work educational settings.
