Part II: Teaching and Parenting in a Digital AgeCaroline Cerveny
Exploring the challenges around technology use, practical proactive strategies, and where to find support and resources to better understand these issues.
Young people, in particular, have grasped the enormous capacity of the new media to foster connectedness, communication and understanding between individuals and communities, and they are turning to them as means of communicating with existing friends, of meeting new friends, of forming communities and networks, of seeking information and news, and of sharing their ideas and opinions. What does this mean for catechetical ministry?
Thank you to all who attended the Parish Technology Summit at Villanova University. We explored the how and why technology needs to be an integral part of catechetical ministry in the 21st Century.
A fun and VERY light intro to the concept of New Media. Note: this was used for educational purposes, allowing us to use the Shrek characters. Commerical use not allowed!

The History Of Social Media
The History of Social Media
Social media is the form of electronic communication through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content. When and how this fascinating world of social media was created? Its seems like a new trend, sites like Facebook are the natural outcome of many centuries of social media development. The earliest method of communicating across great distances used written correspondence delivered by hand one person to another. The earliest form of postal services dates back to 550 B.C. In 1972, the telegraph was invented allowing messages to be delivered over a long distance. Although telegraph messages were short, they were a revolutionary way to convey news and information. Two important discoveries happened in the last decades of the 1800s: the telephone in 1890 and the radio in 1981.
After the invention of blogging, social media began to explode in popularity. Sites like MySpace and LinkedIn gained prominence in the early 2000s. YouTube came out in 2005, creating an entirely new way for people to communicate and share with others. By 2004, Facebook and Twitter both became available to users throughout the world.
Today, there is a huge variety of social networking sites, and many of them can be linked to allow crossing posting. We can only speculate about what the future of social media may look in the next decade.

Winner 2012 Mary Shelley Award for Outstanding Fictional Work! Limited to 140 characters to confess his sins and meet his Maker, "tweeting" may not have been the best use of Willum Granger's final moments.
Executive Severance, a masterful work of Twitter microblogging fiction, is delightfully full of punny dialogue, clever character conditions, and a total lack of adherence to the old "rules" of
storytelling.
Executive Severance is a comic mystery created in Twitter that is compelling, entertaining and shows off what can be done in the 140-character form with style and mastery. With sendups of the mystery genre, social media conventions and cell phone behavior, Executive Severance is a cornucopia of word play and comic misdirection stuffed with punny dialogue and clever character conditions. ES has been called tight, tingling, and diverting.
What makes the print edition of Executive Severance truly exceptional is the amazing illustrations that accompany the story, produced by the acclaimed cartoonist, David Arshawsky.
This is the first lecture for my Intro to Social Media class at Loyola Marymount University. It provides a look back at the concepts that inspired today's social media phenomenon, as well as how these concepts evolved over the past 2000 years.
1. (a)In the late 20th century, mass media could be classified int.pdfanandhomeneeds
1. (a)
In the late 20th century, mass media could be classified into eight mass media industries: books,
the Internet, magazines, movies, newspapers, radio, recordings, and television. The explosion of
digital communication technology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries made prominent the
question: what forms of media should be classified as \"mass media\"? For example, it is
controversial whether to include cell phones, computer games (such as MMORPGs), and video
games in the definition. In the 2000s, a classification called the \"seven mass media\" became
popular. In order of introduction, they are:
Each mass medium has its own content types, creative artists, technicians, and business models.
For example, the Internet includes blogs, podcasts, web sites, and various other technologies
built atop the general distribution network. The sixth and seventh media, Internet and mobile
phones, are often referred to collectively as digital media; and the fourth and fifth, radio and TV,
as broadcast media. Some argue that video games have developed into a distinct mass form of
media.
While a telephone is a two-way communication device, mass media communicates to a large
group. In addition, the telephone has transformed into a cell phone which is equipped with
Internet access. A question arises whether this makes cell phones a mass medium or simply a
device used to access a mass medium (the Internet). There is currently a system by which
marketers and advertisers are able to tap into satellites, and broadcast commercials and
advertisements directly to cell phones, unsolicited by the phone\'s user. This transmission of
mass advertising to millions of people is another form of mass communication.
Video games may also be evolving into a mass medium. Video games (for example massively
multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs, such as RuneScape) provide a common
gaming experience to millions of users across the globe and convey the same messages and
ideologies to all their users. Users sometimes share the experience with one another by playing
online. Excluding the Internet however, it is questionable whether players of video games are
sharing a common experience when they play the game individually. It is possible to discuss in
great detail the events of a video game with a friend one has never played with, because the
experience is identical to each. The question, then, is whether this is a form of mass
communication
Print
Magazine
A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles, generally financed by
advertising and/or purchase by readers.
Magazines are typically published weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly or quarterly, with a
date on the cover that is in advance of the date it is actually published. They are often printed in
color on coated paper, and are bound with a soft cover.
Magazines fall into two broad categories: consumer magazines and business magazines. In
practice, magazines are a subset of periodicals,.
A means of communication is a technical system used to carry out any type of communication . This term normally refers to those media that are massive in nature, that is, those that provide information or content to the masses, such as television or radio.
However, there are media that are not mass but interpersonal. Interpersonal media are those that facilitate communication between people , for example: the telephone.
The Gutenberg printing press in the 1450s opened new technology that affected the everyday world. This change was part of a disruptive force on church and society – a Copernicum Revolution. New ways of learning and new resources became available. What happened then was a gradual, profound change not just in the ways people communicated but, in the ways, people thought and the ways in which they formed meaning. I believe similar changes are unavoidable now and in fact are already happening. Digital Culture is surrounding us in a variety of ways, is real and can no longer be feared or ignored in the Church. Today’s workshop will provide a place to begin exploring what is meant by Digital Discipleship and/or Digital Ministry.
In the 50th World Day of Social Communications message, entitled Communication and Mercy: A Fruitful Encounter, Pope Francis said that “emails, text messages, social networks and chats” can be “fully human forms of communication”.
“It is not technology which determines whether or not communication is authentic, but rather the human heart and our capacity to use wisely the means at our disposal,” the Pope said.
He added: “Communication, wherever and however it takes place, has opened up broader horizons for many people. This is a gift of God which involves a great responsibility. I like to refer to this power of communication as ‘closeness’.”
Goals:
• To raise consciousness – What does it mean to “lead” at a time of transition often referred to as “middle space” in our evolving digital culture?
• To identify the new skills (best-practices) that are needed to effectively engage in ministry in our evolving digital culture.
The everyday world around us is utilizing tools and social media in their communications world. How are our parishes engaged in this digital communications world? What can parish clergy, staff, and parishioners do to engage others in this digital world?
Rather than lament the loss of a 1950s model where churches were typically the center of social of social and cultural life in American, how do we adapt to a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life?
Pope Francis recently said "that if guided by the Holy Spirit, we can discover opportunities to lead humankind toward God" by using the Internet. Is this opportunity one of being a DIGITAL DISCIPLE? Being a Digital Disciple involves being a real person with a passion to share goodness, faith, and more in an online environment. Is it possible? What is the balance of digital communication and authentic and direct human relations? Does it just involve social media or is there more? What does it mean to be connected? What is the "attitude" that I bring to the digital environment? As a lay minister, when I communicate in today's online environment, what are my family, friends, and parishioners expecting? Is proclaiming Christ in the digital era a work of youth or of all of us?
The Technology & Pastoral Planning workshop explores what is important while planning and implementing technology into your parish (or diocesan) Pastoral Plan.

How do we employ technology to transform and enhance catechesis? What does it mean to accept the challenge of, and actively participate in learning new technologies? What catechetical materials exist in a digital format and are we ready for them? What technology standards do we need to move forward? Come to engage in a conversation as we ask ourselves, how do we catechize in a Digital World?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

17. MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER
BENEDICT XVI
FOR THE 47th WORLD
COMMUNICATIONS DAY
“Social Networks: Portals of Truth and
faith; new spaces for evangelization.“
18. The Theme suggests a series of
important points for reflection:
During a time in which technology has emerged as part
of the fabric of connectivity of human experiences, such
as relationships and knowledge, we need to ask: can it
help men and women meet Christ in faith? It is not
enough to find an adequate language, but rather, it is
necessary to learn how to present the Gospel as the
answer to that basic human yearning for meaning and
faith, which has already found expression online.
19. What we need to consider. . .
• Requires a new way of thinking
• It is not simply a question of how to use the internet
as a means of evangelization, but instead of how to
evangelize in a context where the lives of people find
expression also in the digital arena.
• We need to be attentive to the emergence and
enormous popularity of the social networks, which
privilege dialogical and interactive forms of
communication and relationships.
21. Facebook
• One of the most popular social networking
services in the world: over 700-million people
have joined Facebook!
• Networks: Regional, national and interest group
based. Eg: South Africa, Wits University, TAC
support group, fans of “Freshly Ground”
• Uses:
1. Search for groups related to your story
2. Put you in touch with sources
3. Search for events

work together.
• Keep in touch with family and friends.
• Used to make announcements.
• Organize groups (e.g., Peace Song)
