The document provides an overview of an orientation for an educational technologies course (ED 203). It includes an opening prayer, discussion of course objectives and structure, and a review of required activities for the first unit. Students will create a devotion based on a Bible passage and respond to questions in a drop box. The orientation covers navigating the online course site, available resources, and expectations for discussion boards and projects. The goal is to help students learn to use technology effectively in educational settings.

Orientation

2. Ever wonder what would happen if we treated
our Bible like we treat our cell phone, iPod, or
iPad?

3. Let’s Begin with Prayer
Lord God Heavenly Father
We thank you for this day and we thank
you for sharing Your Son, Our Savior, with
each one of us.
Help us to stay anchored in Him and bring
You glory as we serve others who become
part of our lives.
Bless the learning we experience in this
class and help us to use it as we continue to
prepare to become professional teachers.

4. Grant us Lord, through our
involvement in this course, to
grow in our understanding
that technology is a gift from
You, and used correctly, can
bring blessings to us and to
those we serve.
In Jesus Name we Pray
Amen

kingdom of heaven?” 2 He called a little
child to him, and placed the child among
them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you,
unless you change and become like little
children, you will never enter the kingdom
of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the
lowly position of this child is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever
welcomes one such child in my name
welcomes me.

who is the Greatest?
