1 Thessalonians 2:6-8
6   We were not looking for praise from
    people, not from you or anyone else, even
    though as apostles of Christ we could
    have asserted our authority. 7 Instead, we
    were like young children[a] among
    you. Just as a nursing mother cares for
    her children, 8 so we cared for you.
    Because we loved you so much, we were
    delighted to share with you not only the
    gospel of God but our lives as well.

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Hello my name is Josh, I am the Youth director at Covenant Presbyterian Church. I also speak and consult through Directions in Youth Ministry. I live in Downingtown with my wife and son J.D. Here is a photo of them.
  2. I want to begin by talking about goals for this afternoon. First, I can tell you we probably won’t go a whole two hours because frankly I am not that interesting and second I just got the schedule yesterday saying it was two hours. So goalsTo have a working definition of Social Media.To understand at least three new ways you can utilize Social Media in your ministryTo keep your neighbor awake
  3. Web 1.0- is a webpage designed to share or transmit a topic one wayWeb 2.0- encourages interaction a blog is example of web 2.0 comments can be left and discussions can be hadURL- Universal Resource Locator.. This would be address of the webpage you are trying to accessBlog- Are part journal part resource. They originally started as online Diarie, but have kind of progressed to become part of journalism
  4. The apostles show us a model of effectively do ministry. The apostles share their lives in to share the Gospel. As youth workers we are role and desire should be to share the gospel through our lives. This means sharing our time, our personal gifts, and our personalities with our students. So when we talk about Media, Social Media, we need to understand it in this context. This topic is really broad topic, and it encompasses a lot of different mediums. This presentation is meant to be a primer you guys are going to get a little bit of everything. It is meant to show you how to effectively dip your toe in the water.  One of the things that would be most helpful for me is if each of shared a little bit about our ministries and what we do and how we use media in them? How familiar are you with facebook
  5. The reason I wanted to share this seminar is, I have a friend who I would call an uber nerd. I asked what he share to a group like? Is response was if they have to go to seminar like this they probably can’t doi do it. I strongly disagree I have a volunteer in her 70’s she helps with middle school youth group. After youth group one night about 3 or 4 years ago she asked me “what is facebook ? is it some new type of e-mail?” I asked why she was wondering about facebook. She said the girls in her small group were talking about it. She came by office for like 2 or 3 weeks and I helped her set up a facebook account and I showed her how to use it. Now she talks to students all the time through facebook. She might not play dodge ball with them or hang out with them at Starbucks but she comments on their photos, talks to them online and prays for them constantly. For her facebook changed the way she does youth ministry. She choose to share her life and the gospel through social media while in her 70’s.
  6. I have often heard some folks tell me they don’t want learn about social media or technology, they tell me they are to old. The custodian at our church is an example. Until about six or seven years ago he still owned a rotary phone. The only reason he gave up his old phone is because he tried to call a business and he couldn’t talk to anyone because the menu would work without a touch tone. He is what we would a Digital Immigrant. This gap has been summarized the stress and strain of these two technological generations into two categories digital immigrant and digital native. This idea was coined by Marc Prensky. Basically anyone under 20 is a digital native. Anyone under 20 twenty living in the US is a digitial native they have never known a period of life when technology was not common place. If you are over 20 you are considered a Digital Immigrant. The best way to understand this is by following the logic of the Immigrant analogy. I think of my great grandmother. She was born in Barbados, but when she was about 16 she along with her parent Immigrated to US. Even though she spoke English she spoke it with an accent. She grew up on an island and not experienced non-tropical climates and she moved to NYC. No matter how much she assimilated she was always an immigrant. Her parents congregated with all immigrants and spent time with others who were from Barbados. She never lost her accent nor her culture. All of us over 20 have immigrated into a digital world. We speak with accents some like my custodian have more distinct accents.
  7. For example do you print your e-mail? Do you have someone else print your e-mail?Do you edit documents on the computer? Do you present from paper? Do you ever call someone to find out if they got your e-mail? Do you actually use your phone as a phone? Do you use a manual or do you expect software to be intuitive enough you can figure it out?We are speaking an entirely Digital Generation. Our role as youth workers is to communicate to this generation of students. This generation of students who are growing up with completely different assumptions, they learn and think differently than generations before them, and in general they value different things. In general this generation value speed, often parallel process and multi tasks. So why is this important?
  8. Digital Natives, generally have a greater understanding of technology, a natural curiosity to use it. At the same time because they accept technology as natural they may not question the need or the use of it. Digital Immigrants in general have a harder time adapting to a technological rich environment. But they understand what it means to not have technology, to not have a cell phone or 24/7 access to your friends etc. What other advantages do you see to this understanding of Digital Immigrant vs. Digital Native?
  9. Here is the warning. YOU SHOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY SOCIAL MEDIA WITHOUT A STRATEGY! I can’t emphasize this enough. If this does not help you to communicate better or get more time with your students you should not use it, it is often a WASTE of time. What can you realistically do?What can you resourceHow are you going to brand yourself?What will your social media web look like?
  10. One of the best explanation I ever saw of how to explain social media comes from www.geek.com by Matt Humphries. He used the example of donuts. If you have a question please ask because don’t want anyone to be confused. It is has been my experience that students really only use two maybe three of these. My Senior’s and college kids use Twitter, some kids use Google + and all my kids use Youtube and Facebook. Youtube is pretty cool. You can create video’s for youtube. Youtube is fun. I have watched a lot youth workers create video’s with their kids for youtube. It is a great way to get a small group together all you need to is a camera and some video editing software. These don’t have to take a lot of time.
