Social media in social work education. [Book Review]

Abstract or Summary

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.
