Using Digital Technology in Extension Education has been reissued as a flipping book. First published in September 2020 as a website, the publication provides timely content that aims to help Cooperative Extension professionals consider the role of technology in their work, and perhaps increase the adoption of technology, particularly social media. The information in the publication provides both food for thought and practical information that will enable readers to apply what they’ve learned and take action. The content was written and curated by eleven Cooperative Extension professionals from the University of California ANR, UC Davis, Oregon State University, Fort Valley State University, and the Extension Foundation. In addition, a technology expert from private industry contributed a perspective piece.
Contents of the publication include:
- A series of perspective essays that explore the nature of technology in Cooperative Extension work and what the future may hold;
- An exploration of two featured technologies with case studies, including Connect Extension and Instagram;
- A section on leveraging the digital information – content – we already produce using technology, including resources about search engine optimization;
- Technology reports;
- Suggested resources for additional learning opportunities; and
- A selection of blog posts that provide additional information to help readers stay abreast of technology topics.
The development of the publication was supported by the Extension Foundation’s New Technologies for Agricultural Extension (NTAE) Cooperative Agreement with USDA-NIFA.
