Technologial Use in Counselig
Education
In the discussion of ethical use of
technology in counseling if we did not also consider the use of technology in
counselor education. Online program is the a new way to train counselors. This
means is both advantageous (e.g., autonomous learning opportunities,
asynchronous classroom strategies) and challenging (e.g., lack of face-to-face
contact when giving and receiving feedback).
A presentation at the October 2010
Southern Association of Counselor Education and Supervision Conference given by
Dr. Jane Meyers and Dr. Casey Barrio-Minton included the fact that within the
next few years, approximately 1/3 of counselor education positions will be
online positions.
What are your thoughts about the
use of technology in counselor education?
