Abstract
This paper introduces the use of new technologies and creative practices in
teaching groupwork within two applied Irish postgraduate MA courses (Social Work
and Community Development). By reflecting on experiences of teaching groupwork
through the use of visual biographies, mask making, aural and video podcasting, the
authors argue that creative teaching works to integrate experiential, practical and
theoretical knowledge of groupwork. A more widespread adoption and evaluation of
creative technologies in teaching groupwork to enhance student learning and affirm
professional competencies is proposed.
