The document provides tips for effectively presenting Bible lessons using data projectors. It recommends making sure the image size is appropriate for the room and number of children. The projector should be powerful enough to provide a good image, and the room should not be too bright. It also suggests practicing with the presentation, focusing on the children rather than the screen, and having a helper advance the slides to avoid interrupting the flow. The overall goal is to faithfully present God's word using the projector as a tool rather than solely for entertainment.

13. Be thoroughly familiar with
the lesson so you know the
best place to advance to the
next image.

14. Do not teach by reading
from the script.
Study it well, practise it often
and present it as naturally
and faithfully as possible.

15. Apart from an occasional brief glance,
do not keep turning to look at the
image.
Keep your focus on the children.

16. If possible, have a laptop or monitor in
your line of sight to check what is
being projected. But make sure this is
not a distraction to the children.

images.

images.
Your helper will need a script; he will
need to have practiced with you several
times to know when to make changes.

19. Do not interrupt the flow by continually
asking for the next slide. Attempt to
make the slide changes as seamlessly
and naturally as possible.
Finally, this is a fantastic tool for
teaching children but it is only a tool.
Your task is not to entertain or amaze
but to present God’s Word.
