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.

Teaching God-Pleasing Technology Use -- Yet Again!

David Black posted on January 30, 2007 09:57
I'm not concerned that students are using new technologies. There are so many new tools to embrace that have value when used appropriately. My concern is that so many students are embracing these tools without the moral, ethical, and Christian foundation necessary to use these tools in building up God's Kingdom rather tearing it down.

One only needs to spend a few minutes on My Space to see this phenomenon. There is nothing inherently wrong with social networking sites. However, while there might be some worthwhile content there, that content is so obscured by that which is not God-pleasing that it is disheartening for me to spend more than a few minutes there.

My students are probably tired of hearing me use the phrase "God-pleasing computer use." I don't care, as long as they remember this when faced with the challenges of navigating life in this technological age in a way that brings glory to God.

  • 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.
