We live in an incredible age of communication. What was not possible or extremely difficult even 100 years ago can now be accomplished by an average person in minutes. As Bob Hyatt publiclypondered, the issue boils down to stewardship. We must be good stewards of the resources--including knowledge--that God has given us. "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more." (Luke12:48)

Specific Searches: Search sites are increasingly offering RSS feeds for searches. For example, if a teacher wanted to be kept abreast on persecution in the Chinese church, he could search for it (using the terms "Chinese church persecution") on a site like GoogleBlogSearch. The search returns related articles, but also gives the teacher a number of ways to be updated.

Further, it allows for interaction around those resources.
Usage Examples
he own owns tagged "eschatology". Also, the teacher can tag all books related to a specific class with a unique tag (similar to the role "FBHistGeo" played above). A dynamic list of all book associated with that course can then be maintained and utilized by the class.
Book Clubs: Some social cataloging service services offer user-created groups which offer users with similar interests to congregate and discuss. For example, here is an a Biblical languages group on LibraryThing and here is a group on Christian discipleship on Shelfari. These are a good forum for specific book or theme discussion and allow members to share their libraries as well.

Usage Tips
trying ot to cram it all the slides. Though geared toward business professionals, thesepresentationtips can be applicable for education as well.
Related, be cautious of assuming that uploading slides alone from a lecture (perhaps using SlideShare) will be a good substitute for those absent. Garry Reynolds gives a proper critique of this paradigm writing:
The idea that PowerPoint slides can stand on their own and communicate a clear message is widely accepted it seems. Many users are using the term "PowerPoint" or "Slides" as if they were the same thing as a presentation. So, if you want to share a great presentation you made last week, will uploading the slides used in the talk to Slideshare really help you make an impact? Perhaps, but the problem is, if your visuals were any good for the live talk they probably won't do much good by themselves]]> Mon, 16 Apr 2007 14:42:40 +0000 mod http://churchtechteach.pbwiki.com/Philosophy no.email.given@example.com (Anonymous) Anonymous edited Philosophy This project, however, will seek to leverage emerging technology to produce an open document.

A Christian must see the benefits and pitfalls of every piece of technology. There are few things that can hinder a Christian educational moment than screaming microphone feedback, gawdy PowerPoint filled with typos and insensitivity to learning styles or the benefits of simplicity, a classroom with distracting background noise, or an unrehearsed out-of-tune singer. While the world might measure prestigue based on who jumps on the latest fad, the church must test every fad by its compatibility with Kingdom priorities and its redemptive value in culture. At the same time, Christians, whether congregents or teachers, must continually be vigilent about keeping style from trumping substance. Too often a piece of technology or other cultural apparatus can be helpful to one person and a stumbling block to another.
