1.) List 3 things you learning this week and how do you see yourself using these things in your practice as a social work and or as a professional.
2.) What  was your Weebly development experience like and how do you think you could have improved it?  Did you develop any new skills?  Did you use any of your social work skills in creating the site?

1.) I learned the word "Ageism" just like any other "ism" is such a horrible word to use when it comes to labeling  our older adults.  It falls under the discrimination and the prejudice laws.  Older adults are always being stereotype against one way or another.
I learned don't take older adults for granted and don't always try to do their thinking for them when they can mentally think for themselves and make their own decisions because they are up there in age.
I learned, all older adults do not think or act the same.  You do have some very smart and sharp older adults, a lot more sharper than some young/younger people that's walking around in today's society.  Some of them up in age are up on their toes and right on point and key when it comes down to taking care of their/any business.  They are able to adapt to changes, they do not want to live in a nursing home, they would rather stay in their own home.

I see myself using all of the information and knowledge I have learned and apply it in my daily work as a professional social worker.  Knowing what I learned in the first 34 pages in the book of Key Concepts in Social Gerontology will always follow me.
2.) My Weebly development experience was not bad at all except voicethread which I had no idea what I was doing or how to do it.  Maybe learning more about voicethread would be indeed an improvement for me.  Yes, I did develop a new skill, in "voicethread".  Yes, I did use my social work skills In creating.
