After I viewed the four modules this week there were so much information I learned and stood out to me. I will only mention three of them.
1. In module 6, it talked about the technology landscape. Video and web conferencing involves Skype, it works all over the world. It has become a very important technology as far as communication between two or more people. For example, I used this here at WSU in my tutoring sessions when I were unable to come into the main campus from home.
2. In module 7, talks about Social care databases, I was very interested in Agelnfo because it deals with Gerontology. It provides information about old age and ageing in several types of resources. For example, I were not aware of this type of social care databases to gather information on older adults, now I can broaden my knowledge, resources, and research.
3. Module 8, dealt with knowledge sharing in effective organization and ineffective organization. The only way any company can do a good job, they must communicate with each other. Staff members must realized they are all on the same team as well as trying to reach the same goal. So to spend time repeating what your staff member has worked on and the other dept. just done, only because the right hand won't tell the left hand what they are doing, this don't make a bit of sense. This means they are working against their goal then toward their goal. For example, some employees feels if they give-up their good ideas they may not get the full credit for it so they don't and some of them are not team players on the job at all. But when you share your knowledge and play a part in decision making, everyone wins.
Example 4; There are people on the job that were not made to be leaders. In Leadership, they have knowledge and experience, it starts from the top. Leaders make sure everyone is on the same page working together to become as one to get the job done. Leaders make sure their staff has everything needed to do their job and they also would play a big role in decision making.
Question: With so many technology resources out there, how can we as social worker make sure we are providing our older adult with the best information possible?
