Published by Web Desk Thursday, December 18, 2014

This infographic from Case Western Reserve University’s Social Work (socialworkdegree) program shows us the importance of technology as it has to do with social work. One big way that technology has revolutionized the social work industry is with social media outlets. Social media helps social workers to connect with other social workers by sharing information, research, tools, etc. Social media can also be utilized to promote causes and reach out to more people. The average American spends over an hour using social media daily and utilizing hashtags, etc., social workers can have a bigger range of outreach. Human resource professionals are also taking advantage of social media by recruiting campaigns via social media outlets. These campaigns seem to be about five times more effective than traditional recruiting methods. There have also been apps created to help aide social workers such as Social Work Helper, iGrade for Social Worker, Ambiance, The Cochrane Library, and Social Work Jobs.
