ED 203 Educational Technologies

Orientation

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated

our Bible like we treat our cell phone, iPod, or

iPad?

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.

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

• In ED 203 You will do

activities to practice using

technology in an

educational setting

• Unit One Example – Use

technology to develop a

devotion you could use in

your classroom or for a

faculty meeting.

• Matthew 18:1-35 – We will

begin with Matthew 18:1-5

Matthew 18:1-5

• 1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus

and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the

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.

According to Matthew 18:1-5,

who is the Greatest?
