Teaching & Learning in Social Work

JANUARY 6, 2021

2020 was a strange year with many firsts for me – first global pandemic, first sabbatical, first live sessions in an online course, etc. Because of all these firsts, blogging took a bit of back seat to some of my other projects and goals for the year. I had four goals for the blog over the year, and some minor successes. They were: #1 – Publish 30 posts – only published 19. #2 – Enhance the reach of the blog – there were almost 45,500 visitors from 153 different cou

In April of 2019, I had the privilege of getting to design a futures game for my dean colleagues of schools of social work around the United States.

Introduction. It was a Saturday afternoon. 3pm. My dog is having a nap. I’m working on my case-notes. Tallying up the numbers, uploading it to the system. At some point, I look at what I type. And continue looking. Nothing seems to flow anymore. Then I ask myself: Why am I doing this? No really, why am I doing this? You’ve probably had a similar experience.

Abuse Survivor

I have been doing a lot of writing even though this blog has not been getting regular updates. I have notebooks I write in but I’ve been free writing on twitter and letting it fly. It’s been liberating and I feel more free than ever. I don’t keep the abuser’s secrets anymore. It’s more clear than ever now what was abusive and harmful to me. My thought threads don’t seem to always fit a long blog post.

Before touching on what blogs to read, let’s chat about how not to read blogs.
