So, I have been looking forward to this for quite a while.  Today, I am doing a workshop entitled Reaching Youth Through Technology  at the Parish Technology Summit sponsored by Villanova University’s Center for the Study of Church Management.

That’s Villanova, as in ranked #8 in college men’s b-ball, but, more importantly (to me) as in Philadelphia or (to me) where I started in Catholic Youth Ministry . . . some thirty-four years ago and where I have not professionally worked since 1980.

Despite predictions of Phlly version of another Snowpocolypse, I’ve taken the flip cameras so we might be posting video clips in the next few days. But, today, both for you, the blog reader, but also for the workshop participants, I’m posting up the handout, the power-point and my sources.

  2. So, here’s the deal…

    I was hoping to have video going as participants walked in the room – - – that was the “pre-game” list. Unfortunately, set-up time did not allow for that.

    We never got to the Bub from Bethesda story at the end due to time constraints… but you can find it at the last link. And the sound failed on the Scrubs scene, but I felt as if I adequately presented it (without singing.) Nonetheless, it’s a great clip, check it out!

  3. Greatly enjoyed the presentation! EXCITING! It’s amazing that the slide presentations and video are ALREADY on-line; I don’t even need to ask for them. Also looking forward to passing on the information to staff and other interested parishioners. — Resurrection Parish, Wilmington, DE
