Through discussion and sharing, we will outline possibilities, challenges, and the ways teachers and administrators can prepare for the elusive horizon of tomorrow

To Tech as Jesus Did: Gospel Values for Technology Planning and Instruction
“Would Jesus Own a Mac or a PC?” Raising students to live in our technology-rich society presents opportunities and challenges for all educators.

This workshop will examine the Gospel values and practical choices that can help schools to build and use technology systems that complement their Catholic identity. Technophiles and technophobes are invited to find the face of Jesus in the world of Web 2.0.
