Focus@Will [Saturday Morning Review]


by

When a friend of my brought Focus@Will to my attention, I was skeptical. After all, how could music, or even certain background noises enhance your productivity? But, being the open-minded person that I am, and considering I'm always interested in increasing my productivity, I figured I'd give it a try. ... Read More

Church Tech Snack Pack #153


by

If you recall, last week I mentioned the change in the Snack Packs – I only comment on links if I actually have something to say. Crazy. I know. I can honestly say this new format feels really good. Enjoy the pack! ... Read More

Church Tech Snack Pack #152


by

For the past 150+ Church Tech Snack Packs, I've written some sort of comment with each link shared. I think it's about time to stop this practice. Week after week, I find myself writing the most absurd things: Cool! Gotta check this out! True story. Etc. From now on, if I don't have anything to add to a link, such as further clarification on what the link is about or just a general thought I have to share with you, I'll just drop the link and let you dig into it. ...

Real Pi: Learn to Laugh [Humor]


by

My sense of humor is fairly refined, which is why vegans can't stand it: it's not organic. See! Right there was a joke that most folks either didn't get or didn't find funny.

by

When I got my original Wii back in college, my favorite game was Wii tennis. I found myself taking it to my parent's house, putting it in their basement where they had lots of room and a projector and going crazy. I played tennis in college and high school, so I was treating it like a real game and sweating buckets by the end. I loved it. But does that count as real exercise? What about Pokemon Go? Others? This video looks to see if it actually counts. ... Read More

The Google Sunday School Classroom?


by

Many of you know that I work as a public school teacher at a school with a 1:1 computer program. This had provided me with a number of technological insights, and one of them has been the value a digital classroom/learning space. In my school, we use a platform called "Schoology," and I have to say that it's quite useful. Of course, other platforms have been floated as possible replacements, as we are continually looking for the best platform to aid us in educating our students. The more recent ... Read More

How the Internet Works [Infographic]


by

When I was fifteen, I remember a classmate of mine tried to convince me that the entire internet was housed in a facility in London. I don't know if this kid was full of it or if he didn't understand the redundant, decentralized nature of the internet or some mixture of the two, but I know he was wrong. But most folks get the internet wrong, some even epically so: ... Read More
