Welcome Blog

Welcome to the Mt. Calvary Church - Children's Ministry Blog.

Why blog?

I believe that blogging would be a useful tool for our Children’s Ministry staff and volunteers for a number of adaptable reasons mentioned in the Richardson textbook.

The first usage I believe we should implement would be using blogs as a staff & volunteer collaboration tool. Specifically,

· Teacher training and mentoring

· “Group Therapy” that allows reflection on the teaching experiences

· Lesson plan collaboration & sharing of teaching tips

· How-to documentation for using certain technology

The second usage I believe we should implement would be using blogs as an outreach and training tool for our children and the world. We could:

· Post class related materials for children’s who were unable to attend class.

· Showcase student gifting & talents.

· Provide online reading, games, etc.

Blogging can be a useful tool to help Children’s Ministers to fulfill Jesus’ command in Matt 26:19 to “Go and make disciples of all nations.”
