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

It's been a while since I've added a post. It was a busy week past in teaching, evaluating, facilitating, parenting, etc. In the meantime I've collected some links which might be of interest to other educators in Lutheran schools. Here are some of these links:

  • Xdrive is a free file storage service accessed online. This might be used by educators as a backup for professional and personal documents.
  • A national technology literacy test is in the offing. See this article for more information. I'm struggling with the wisdom of testing specific technology-related competencies. A mere competency test does not ensure that these tools are being used effectively in classrooms and schools. In addition, this test would seem to provide disproportionate results for those schools which have a weak technology infrastructure. Will this really tell us something we need to know about students? What are your thoughts?
  • Inspiration now has an online version of its student mapping software entitled myWebspiration. Create mind maps and outlines via the web in the familiar Inspiration format. An additional feature is that maps my be shared and edited by multiple users. It looks to me as if the maps and outlines created online are compatible with Inspiration 8 but not with older versions of the program. This would limit its use in our school since we have version 6 and have not found a compelling reason to upgrade at this point. Still, an online version provides greater flexibility for individual students and schools.
  • The K-12 Online Conference is underway. Be sure to check out all the presentations and conversations.

  • 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.
