Given the embryonic nature of social media in the field of social work, many of us have
yet to develop confident expertise in its use and will appreciate the pragmatic and friendly
encouragement offered by the editor. That established, the book is boldly introduced as one
that will encourage readers to appreciate the value of social media in social work education,
with some intelligent reflection on its challenges. In six chapters we are generously offered
a range of social media “how-to” learning strategies with strong threads of theoretical and
pedagogical rationale throughout.
