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.

Alan shares some thoughts about some of the hardware and software tools he has encountered. He also makes the case for a more aggressive and active approach to teacher training and staff development -- that the time for passively accepting that some educators are going to resist change is gone, and that we risk falling further behind in our efforts to best prepare our students for their futures if we don't move forward with more zest and zeal. He also shares the joy of seeing his faculty start to buy in to a larger vision of where technology fits with driving necessary educational change to prepare the 21st century learner.

Keep up the good work, Alan!

Dave, Thaks for the kind words. I only saw the link to this blog post thanks to a tool in Flock on the "My World page. When I click on "Friend Activity" at the top of my Twitter column, it gives me an open pane on the left side of my Flock screen with the most recent post of all my (now over 100) Twitterers I'm following. I saw yours and clicked on the link and it brought me here. All of which is to say that since I started Twitter, I have learned so much just by "following" what all the other gurus are tweeting about. It has really opened up my eyes.
Now that I know someone else is reading my blog, I think I better go do some more catching up. Thanks, Alan Http://alanlutz.wordpress.com

  • 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.
