Richard Nations,
Iowa, and chairman of the Technology Workgroup gave the
following report:
-
Technology as it intersects
with Sunday School
Richard noted two
promising mediums: Equip (a Canadian group that is providing
training videos on-line) and Blogging (Darryl Wilson, KY, is
using this way of communication and has had more than 14,000
hits… it is a great way to get information out there.
-
SSDF website
Sandy Coelho
noted that since she took over from Randy Tompkins last year,
she has spent much of the time transitioning the website…
changing the look, making updates, etc. She continues to look
for feedback from the members with suggestions and she is also
looking to find out how to tweak the system even more to make it
more user friendly.

(.net and .org) website
Sandy Coelho
reported that she is finally getting ready to start putting
content up on the site. The group spent time reviewing the
layout of the content and Sandy recorded information that the
group was going send over the next few weeks.
Mark Langley used
the last few minutes of the session helping the group to decide
about details for next year’s meeting in Orlando, Florida.
John Boone shared
that he has gotten the information so that we can be in the
Disney Resort… Rooms would be $155/night … This is a tourist
destination so it is going to be more costly. The group would
also have to spend $4000 in food… Sandy Coelho noted that this
might be possible with the banquet as well as having a meals
package for the whole event. There was a consensus that this
would be a good idea. It was suggested that we use Lake Yale,
but the consensus was that this was not up to good standards. A
vote taken revealed that all but one wanted to use the Disney
facilities. |
