Abstract: This article presents the history of teaching information technology (IT) in the schools of social work in the Netherlands, using a typology of possible approaches to implementation of IT teaching in social work education. This typology is based on the actual development of curricula, up to the concept of social informatics. Social informatics is a new area of interest in the curricula for social work education. It could be defined as the whole of knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding modern IT which students of social work are going to meet in their future profession. Social informatics has attracted international attention, serving as a reference point for curriculum development activities in Belgium and Germany .. (Author introduction, edited.). *.
