Conversation with Older Adult
Using Technology to improve sharing.
3 big Ideals.
1.
How using Technology increases productivity
2.
Choosing the right technology for a specific jobs
3.
How rapidly Technology is advancing
Examples:
1.
Using technology helps productivity and speeds up knowledge and sharing of information. Where I work at, as I do my home visits with clients if I have a problem or the client has a complaint about something. I can pull up the database right there on my PC tablet and show my client that the compliant or problem has been taken care of. I do not have to wait to go back to the office or call someone, I can access all records from database through computer.
2.
Choosing the right technology for the job is important, in the case above, if I was to call someone at the office to pull my clients file, they may see something not intended for their eyes, or blurt something out over the phone that my client may hear that should be confidential or private, and not intended for the client.
Question:
Is technology advancing too fast or are we not learning about technology fast enough?
The Learning Process
1.
To improve the learning process this week I could have explored some of the subjects through other resources to learn more on the subject.
2.
I don't think the professor could have did too much more than what was done to lead and guide us for this week's learning experience, if there was more it was on the student to further explore. It was easy navigation and many resources, and help to fulfil the assignments
.
3.
The three things I learned this week were 1. How rapidly technology is advancing and I must continue to stay abreast of it to be in tune with what technologies are being used in my field. 2. The second thing I learned this week was the statistics on the elderly on how much out- of pocket expenses have increased over the years for that population. 3. The third thing I learned was how the media Perpetuates the stereotypes of the older adults through inaccurate media sources. I will use these three things to improve my resources and knowledge in the social work field to help others and myself as well to be better at the work I do.
