Education and the Church in the Digital World
While technology advances, all sectors of society should constantly look for ways to adapt and use these resources in their respective fields. These advances are not just for business or commercial or consumers. Neither are they exclusive for entertainment and scientific research.
I think that two particular institutions should take advantage of these advances: Education and the Church.
eLearning can take many forms and modes. We can have mobile learning, internet-based education, computer-based training and even learn with games. We just had the 6th National eLearning in UST and we still feel that we need more push from all sectors to realize that we can use the technology for learning in more ways than Powerpoint and email. Conference Hopefully, government, the IT, education sectors and the creative people can put their heads together to explore and implement better, faster and more
efficient ways of learning. And on that note, Aileen is inviting educators to attend a Google Workshop for Educators.
We first had the Tagalog Rosary, now we have the Divine Mercy Devotional Digital Download via J Angelo.
The late Pope John Paul II’s call to the new evangelization is being heeded by many individual efforts of priests, religious and lay bloggers. Bishops, seminarians, missionaries and preachers are using the internet and technology to give witness, to teach, to lead and to empower the faithful. We need more concerted efforts, more avenues of dialogue, a faster way to communicate and trade ideas.
Digital technology or the internet and computers are tools.
Let us use them for the betterment of this world.
