Welcome to the Social Work Education Trauma & Disaster Forum. The
purpose of this forum is to share ideas and resources among those
faculty members who are teaching courses related to trauma and/or
disaster topics in social work. We have the capability to share
syllabi and even to collaborate on documents through Google Docs We
also have the ability to create our own web pages/sites (for those who
are up to the task). While Google will be changing how we can do these
things we can still use the current system of group pages. When I have
a chance I will transfer us over to Google Sites. But at the most
essential level, this is a listserv (or you can read on the web, like
a bulletin board), so you don't have to be facile with the other
technology tasks I've mentioned in order to participate.
Since we are now 25 strong and hopefully those who attended CSWE's APM
have reoriented themselves, so I thought it would be a good time to
invite each of you to introduce yourself. Please tell us about
yourself and what your interest and teaching is on this topic, and
also, if you are up to it, say a few words about why you decided to
join this group
