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.

Monday Links List

Lots going on and not a lot of time to create a thought-filled post, so let me just share some links I've found recently:

  • Tools for Teachers: Links to all sorts of resources, tools, and utilities for educators.
  • Interesting post from the CoolCatTeacher about educators blogging and being transparent. I agree with her conclusion, although I do understand the concerns raised in the post. My attitude is that, despite the challenges, we should be seizing new technology tools for ministry whenever possible. I regularly pray that the Lord would give me the ability to do this in a manner that is helpful for people and builds up the family of faith.
  • Check out Living Lutheran from The Church Door, which seeks to answer basic questions about Lutheran doctrine.
  • Library of Congress photo collections are now on Flickr to make them more accessible. See the tag cloud here.
  • Here is a story to watch as we seek to help our students and colleagues sort through copyright law and implement God-pleasing technology use.

Wow, I'm having a hard time stomaching the foxnews article about copyright. It's almost as if the average person doesn't understand fair use. I went to the digg site for the article and read some of the more interesting comments. I echo the comment of one user who talked about what you really are buying when you purchase a CD. I know I'm buying plastic, but I'm also buying the right to listen to that music in the format of my choice. Not sure where the law is on that view? But it sounds almost too logical to be correct :-)

Also, I started watching the "Moral Issues: Part I" video from Pastor Kelm and was taken aback when he commented that there were 6 users streaming the presentation online. He welcomed them and said something that was shocking.."To those of you watching remotely, we're glad your here..we are not sure why you are here, but glad you are..."

I am sure that the comment was COMPLETELY made with out implication, but it struck me as odd...Why wouldn't someone be logged in and listening? Is the topic not that important? Is Rev. Kelm not that good a presenter? Isn't that why we do things online...so they can be seen? Shouldn't that especially be said of the Gospel message.

Like I said, it just struck me.

Thanks again for the posts!!

The LOC pictures on Flicker were actually compiled and posted by a former student of mine, Justin. This was his last big project at LOC. He is moving on to another position this week I believe. We were in our newborn stages of technology when he attended our school. It still amazes me when I see all that he has accomplished. Can you imagine what today's student will be doing in the future?

  • 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.
