and I'm the technology teacher at Shepherd of the Hills Christian School in Centennial, CO.

I have a heart and passion for technology and for educational ministry for our Lord Jesus Christ.

This blog is a natural result of these unique interests. I have 20 years of teaching experience in Lutheran schools, the last five exclusively as a technology teacher.

I seek to use the talents that God has given me to enhance His Kingdom in new, exciting, and creative ways, utilizing the technology tools with which we have been blessed to enhance ministry for Christ.

  • Those of us who regularly use Mozilla Firefox for our Internet browsing will want to check out this security concern.
  • Check out this article on some new Google applications specifically designed to allow those with sporadic Internet connections to be more productive in their work. Imagine how this might change the way people work when they are not at home or the office. Better yet, imagine how these new technologies might help students in their studies, particularly those in low-income areas.
  • Click here (free registration may be required) for Bill Gates' vision of education, technology, and the future. Thoughts? Agree? Disagree? Why? What interested me is his call for better data collecting systems related to standards -- something which may raise concerns among privacy gurus.
  • Here is a fascinating article (free registration may be required) on free email services and how some people max out their quotas because they are psychologically unable to delete email. This seems to be a classic example of how someone works for technology instead of having technology work for them. I've noticed that there is a whole new marketplace for experts who help people make technology work for them, with many books and seminars now devoted to this topic. At what point do we start addressing this topic with our students, if ever. Thoughts?
  • Mac OS people are not immune to security concerns. Click here to read about a recent vulnerability and its patch.
  • Check out Microsoft's plans (including a video) for a new coffee table computer. How might this change life? Education? It is hard to imagine this becoming a useful too, but perhaps even though I work regularly with technology, I'm still far too tied to old ways of thinking. Nonetheless, this rates very high on the "gee whiz" effect! Very cool! Can you imagine this type of surface as a student desk someday?

  • A Whole New Mind, by Daniel Pink: Actually, I'm re-reading this book (I may have to purchase a copy for myself instead of always using a library copy!)  Pink identifies six senses that are becoming essential for success in 21st century society. An excellent read for all educators and church leaders, even though it is not written from a Christian perspective.
  • Crazy '08, by Cait Murphy: A great study of the famous 1908 baseball season -- the last one where the Cubs won the World Series. Very much enjoying the description of the most memorable game in Cubs history -- the 4-2 victory at the New York Giants in the final National League game of that season.
