Week 1 Discussion: Begin Your Yellowdig Discussion
In social work practice, social workers may work with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. For this discussion:
- Describe a client you have been assigned (estimated age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, health status, family size, and general services the practicum site is providing to the client). If you are not assigned a client, work with your site supervisor to gain information that may be shared to complete this discussion. Do not share the client’s name; instead use a pseudonym to respect the practicum site and client.
- Describe how you, as a social worker in your practicum site, “think globally but act locally.”
- Describe any experience you may have with the IEP process or with using technology with young people for the purpose of engaging in a therapeutic relationship.
Response Guidelines
- Your Participation: Your interactions and anything you share in Yellowdig should be courteous, succinct, professional, well-written, and organized. Communicating clearly with proper grammar and punctuation will foster more and better interactions with your classmates.
- Your Post: Please post something to the community related to the content covered this week. Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig’s Create option to start a conversation.
- Responding to Peers: As you respond to your classmates, share your professional experiences and helpful thoughts and feedback about ideas they have shared. Try to comment on those where you feel you have the most useful information to share and consider the following:
- How have your experiences resonated with their ideas?
- What can you add to their ideas, building upon the connections you have made to the material so far?
- Consider exploring the features of Yellowdig, such as your ability to embed videos and pictures, create polls and videos, use hashtags, love or like a post, and so on.
