This document provides information about free computer help and resources from the ISI Tech Team. It discusses their goals of helping people develop time-saving computer skills and solve technical problems. It then outlines several Web 2.0 tools that are useful for ministry, including social networking, collaboration tools, media sharing, blogging, and cloud computing. Guidelines for using these tools effectively and some technology trends are also mentioned.
Using Web 2.0 Tools to Create a Professional Learning EnvironmentJulie Lindsay
Every professional educator needs online spaces for portfolio development and fostering interaction and collaboration. This presentation will look at online tools that can be used to collate and present resources, to invite community interaction and contributions and to use as a platform for personal expression. It will take the perspective of the educator who has needs for storage of ideas and tools, presentation of educational artefacts, collaboration and access to other educators online. Using freely available Web 2.0 tools every educator can develop a PLE to complement their educational objectives. This presentation is produced using established online resources including blogging, wiki development, social networking tools and podcasting.

Revisiting the affordances and consequences of digital interconnectedness and...Sue Beckingham
As an advocate of social media I can (and do) wax lyrical about the potential of the digital spaces that provide prospective place(s) to listen, interact and learn. For many the affordances have enabled opportunities to extend networks, helped to build meaningful connections and nurtured personal relationships (often at a distance).
The immediacy and open interactivity of these spaces have unlocked alternative ways to communicate and collaborate that can also remove spatial and time-oriented constraints. They enable and encourage the use of multimedia communication through images, video and audio to augment the written words we may choose to share.
However, as much as open listening and sharing can be considered as liberating and empowering, there can be (and are) unintended as well as intended consequences.
This keynote will explore why it is vital that we all consider the implications of our public digital interactions - from the data we share; what we say or don't say; and the significance of doing, being and becoming - and how this can impact on our sense of belonging and wellbeing.
I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press. I believe that we cannot even begin to imagine the changes that are going to take place as the two-way nature of the Internet begins to flower, and that even those of us who have spent time imagining this future will be astounded by what happens. I’m going to identify ten trends in this regard that I think have particular importance for education and learning, and then discuss seven steps I think educators can take to make a difference during this time.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

“An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion
site. It is the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin
board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin
board system. People participating in an Internet forum may
cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic may form
from the discussions.”
Wikis
A wiki is a website that uses wiki software, allowing the easy
creation and editing of any number of interlinked Web
pages/documents with easy search capability. In other words
a place where people can store many documents that all of
them are editing together to created a body of information.
