Is social networking/websites bringing occupational therapists together?
Web 2.0 tools enable building of networks which provide a natural framework for participation, collaboration and sharing amongst a community of users
(O’Reilly, 2005).
Web 2.0/Social networking
“created, shared, remixed, repurposed and passed along”
(Downes, 2005, para. 1)
What did the tools enable us to do?
Web 2.0
• A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order.
• Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”.
• Individual articles on a blog are called “posts” or “entries”.
• A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.
What is a blog?
• Salford Occupational Therapy Educators
• Meta OT
• Occupational Therapy Education Issues
• Occupational Therapy - a blog about OT
Take a look
I’m talking about the communities we currently have, when we’re scattered around the country, unable to communicate face-to-face, but still connected, still intellectually intimate, because we’ll still regularly be engaged with each other’s thoughts.
