The work I have completed during my Masters studies has led me to focus on developing curriculum for Bible study groups. My concept is Christian Education Technology Integration (CETI) which incorporates various technology tools in the operation and delivery of the curriculum to increase interest, participation and productivity. The goal is to transform passive, “sit in a circle and talk” groups into interactive and engaging discussion groups.
In my June 2009 post I shared the implementation of the curriculum and my attempts to gather feedback from the participants. I conducted personal interviews with the participants that did not respond to my e-mail request. I received rich, valuable comments from the group members. One suggestion to increase the use of the wiki by the participants was to provide a workshop or lesson on wikis to further educate the members that were not familiar with the wiki and its uses.
This quarter I had the opportunity to experience practical application of my studies by creating a slide show presentation on wikis and develop an implementation plan to integrate the use of a wiki in the women’s study group I am currently working with. This process has been enlightening and exciting for me as I further develop my curriculum development skills in my work in Christian Education. The combination of my passion and talents has made my work a joy and I am looking forward to the group’s growth in learning and spiritual maturity.
