The app provides multiple scenarios to help users consider appropriate and inappropriate responses to issues that commonly arise in practice.\u00a0 As the app explains in the About section, Social Work Social Media was not created to provide \u201cthe answers.\u201d Instead, the app\u2019s main goal is to spark conversation between colleagues or students about possible ethical dilemmas and solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The app presents five common social media related ethical issues in five different role-playing scenarios. Unfortunately, the user must complete the scenarios in a set order and cannot skip from scenario to scenario. The scenarios are set in a clinical field setting, and the user plays the role of a fellow team manager, Adrian. The user is also introduced to Adrian\u2019s fellow team managers, Derek and Navdeep.\u00a0 In every scenario Adrian (the user) listens to Derek and Navdeep express two different, but common, perspectives on the given issue. After listening to the perspectives, the user is asked to determine which is the most ethical.<\/p>\n<p>When the user selects the most ethical solution, the app illustrates the positive effect the solution had on the agency and the user moves on to the next scenario. If the user chooses the less ethical solution, he or she is given the chance to listen to new advice from Derek and Navdeep and accordingly modify their choice. If the less ethical solution is chosen again, the user is told why their choice was wrong and must restart the app at the first scenario.<\/p>\n<p>After the user has successfully navigated all five scenarios, Social Work Social Media presents the user with takeaways respective to each presented issue. The app also recommends the user restart the scenarios and input different choices to illustrate what would happen to the agency under \u201cunethical\u201d circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, we think this app fulfills its goal. If it was used in a classroom or in an agency\u2019s team meeting, Social Work Social Media could spark meaningful discussions about current social media related ethical dilemmas in Social Work and all helping professions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Practice Implications:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Social Work Social Media could be used in a classroom, in supervision, agency team meetings, or agency trainings to educate students or current practitioners on ethical responses to social media related issues. The app could also spark discussion about how the field or the specific agency can engage social media in a more meaningful way. Additionally, the app may benefit individuals who do not have a team or class to discuss ethical dilemmas with.<\/p>\n<p>Whether an individual or a member of a team or class, Social Work Social Media encourages social workers and helping professionals to use social media by suggesting ways that professionals can engage social media in their practice while avoiding unethical actions. We encourage professionals to supplement their use of this app with their respective ethical guidelines, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialworkers.org\/includes\/newIncludes\/homepage\/PRA-BRO-33617.TechStandards_FINAL_POSTING.pdf\">Standards for Technology and Social Work Practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Privacy Policy: <\/strong>Not applicable.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Device Used for the review:<\/strong>\u00a0iPad<\/h3>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F244&#038;t=Social%20Work%20Social%20Media&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F244&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F92%2F2018%2F10%2FIMG_0239.png&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Social%20Work%20Social%20Media\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/happe\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F244&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/happe\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F244&#038;title=Social%20Work%20Social%20Media\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/happe\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Social%20Work%20Social%20Media&#038;body=Hey%20check%20this%20out:%20https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F244\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/happe\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social Work Social Media is an app created to present social workers with ethical challenges they may encounter when using social media.
