The RSS has more information
about my major’s field of social work than I could ever read. This has a ton of
benefits including being able to reinforce things I already know with specific
examples from real world situations. For example in my classes about social
work I have learned that you cannot make decisions for your clients. I was then
able to read about how making decisions for them can really harm them and does
not really allow them to grow. I also learned in class that it is very helpful
to make lifegraps of your clients. Using RSS I was able to find templates of
lifegraps I could use and step by step directions on how to make them. Anything
I already know about my field I can easily search and multiple sources will pop
up directly relating to the topic. This is really helpful in continuing to
expand my education. However having so many sources and articles to read can
sometimes be a bad thing. What I mean by this is that there are a lot of
different theories and ideas about social work. So I could potentially go on
and read two articles that say the complete opposite thing. This can really
make me question what I have already learned and what I should believe. Is what
I am learning wrong, or is the information on here wrong? Even though RSS makes
connecting with your topic easy you still have to know how to use it correctly.
You have to be careful when reading the information on here by knowing how to identify
quality information. It can really disconnect you from what you have already
learned.
