The new academic year has started and as usual I am embedding technology in my teaching. This semester I am going to be more consciously using Twitter to post information to my current students rather than using Twitter to connect with my online colleagues.I am doing this because it is time to start applying what I have been discovering through my PhD research, which is that many OTs are using online technologies but many do not yet use technology well for information management and knowledge transfer activities.
I have added a new hashtag to my frequently used list. It is the course code #OCC311 of the course that I am teaching this semester at the University of the Sunshine Coast. This course is titled Enabling Occupation: The adult. The focus is on understanding and critically anaylsing occupational therapy approaches. I would really appreciate input by the online OT community to demonstrate to students the power of social media in information management and knowledge transfer.
