#MacroSW is a great way for social work professionals to engage on a range of issues. The platform for discussion is Twitter. In my opinion, this is one of the best uses of the Twitter platform. This Thursday evening, I'll be hosting the chat. Follow this link to learn about the chat, and how you … Continue reading MacroSW chat this week 4/20: Media Night!

#SWDE2017, Day 3: That’s a wrap!
One more hat tip to Sean Erreger (@StuckonSW) for putting together Day 3 of the #SWDE2017 in Storify. Check it out, as always, as well as Sean's blog, and follow him on Twitter. Well, that was short and amazing several days. I just got back and now I can write this wrap-up post. (Seriously, American … Continue reading #SWDE2017, Day 3: That’s a wrap!
#SWDE2017 Day 2: The FOMO is real.
FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out, and I'm comfortable admitting that I felt this yesterday. Or, at least, a scaled-down version of it. FOMO's intended meaning describes the fear you experience when you think your peers are doing something more interesting than you, which forces you to check your social media constantly to see if … Continue reading #SWDE2017 Day 2: The FOMO is real.
Day Two (after hours).
I'll post thoughts on day two shortly, in the meantime... I did get to see a little of the area tonight.

I was advised to run along … Continue reading Day Two (after hours).
Day 1: SWDE’s third year is a different experience.

That topic was well-covered, as well as just about any topic you could imagine. I came away feeling well-informed, and a bit wrung out. In … Continue reading Day 1: SWDE’s third year is a different experience.
Heading to SWDE 2017!
I was up at 4:00 this morning. Typically, I make room for conference travel, but this time, I'm practicing the art of cramming. I'll be at the hotel right before the conference starts today. This is the third social work distance education conference, and I've attended them all so far. My scheduling trade-off has an unintended … Continue reading Heading to SWDE 2017!
Going to #SWDE next week?
I am starting to blog again doing what I did last time: writing about my conference experiences. Next week I'll be attending the 3rd Social Work Distance Education Conference, and I'll write about it in this space. Good times! If you plan to be in San Antonio next week, I hope to see you there.
New home.
Or perhaps not. I am still experimenting with this. I've been devoted to using Evernote to blog using Postach.io. That's a simple setup and process. Many colleagues use WordPress, however, and I understand why; it's really simple and robust at the same time. By the end of this week, I'll commit one way or the … Continue reading New home.
