One of the hot topics at #SSWR2023 was #ChatGPT and AI chat. I wanted to provide a short primer for #SocialWork educators and practitioners about what's going on behind the scenes. I'll cite my sources for this thread at the end. 🧵
Congratulations @DrSeanJoe and the #SSWR2023 planning committee. Tons of great information, beautiful hotel, excellent receptions, and invaluable networking. Here are my tips for things to do on the flight home. See you in DC for the 30th anniversary.
Had a great time hanging with my @LoyolaSSW colleague @KatePhillippo at #SSWR2023. www.luc.edu/socialwork/aboutus/facul...

Big thanks to @ElisabethAnneCC for taking me away from #SSWR2023 for a couple of hours to visit Gilbert Farmers Market where I experienced @MamasColdBrew and waffle sandwiches for the first time.
Listening to @lauranissen talk about the future of social work, which is inextricably linked with technology. #SSWR2023 #SWFutures #SWTech
Here's the future of #SWTech y'all. This amazing group of folks brought their passion, insight and motivation to the 7am
Harness Technology for Social Good SIG.

Outside getting some fresh air and, BOOM, I get a #SSWR2023 selfie with @4heartsnminds and @DrBlackDeer.
So great seeing @NASW Director of Public Policy @SarahCButts at #SSWR2023.
Best dressed #SSWR2023 conference attendee? @andreharris89, hands down.
Bumped into @LoyolaSSW grad, Dr. Melissa Iverson at the @UChicagoCrown reception.

After YEARS of knowing each other on Twitter and presenting together on Zoom, I finally got an IRL meetup with @JustinSHarty! #SSWR2023 #SWTech
So cool to see my longtime conference pal @janemcphers with her new Dean, @drpyphong at the @UGASocialWork reception. #SSWR2023
So cool to see my Twitter pals @DrLizAparicio and @cmogrowilson1 at the @ASUSocialWork #sswr2023 Bock party.
Great conversation tonight with @FISOnline Editor-in-Chief @cmogrowilson1 at the @ASUSocialWork block party. #SSWR2023
It isn't #SSWR2023 without a selfie with @UTKDeanLoriM. Achievement unlocked :)
I met @osucsw Dean David Jenkins years ago when we were serving on @CSocialWorkEd's Council on Membership and Professional Development. Somehow, he hasn't aged. Thanks #SSWR2023 for this timeless selfie.
We're not even done with #SSWR2023 and the call for submissions is already open for @CSocialWorkEd's #APM2023. I can't...
Had an amazing time last night at the @TexasSteveHicks reception. The food was delicious and the people were even better. Grateful to be outside, catching up with my old friend @barbaralnjones. #SSWR2023
One of the best parts of conferences is seeing old friends. This picture captures only a little bit of the pure joy I had bumping into my old friend, @NYUSilver
Dean Michael Lindsey at #SSWR2023.
#SocialWorkTwitter folks! Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme (1/13) is "Democracy is not a spectator sport" If you are at #SSWR2023, please join in! Post your in this thread on the theme. More info here: http://docs.google.com/document/d/1tN…
He might be @UGASocialWork's Dean, but @drpyphong will always be my colleague. #SSWR2023
It isn't a social work conference without a selfie with the one and only @Dr_Teasley. #SSWR2023
Despite the masks, I was able to recognize and get my #SSWR2023 selfies with @AlanDettlaff and @husainaltaf. Love your smiles!
5. Hang out in the hotel lobby. It is a GREAT to meet people you know and want to get to know, but not in a creepy way. (See #3 above). If you're new to academia, go up and say hi to that author you've cited. See you soon! /end #SSWR2023
4. Take selfies and share all the good information people are presenting on social media with #SSWR2023. Sharing on IG, TikTok, Twitter, Mastodon, etc. chips away at the economic injustice of high priced conferences! I've a whole podcast episode on it:...
