At Wesley United Methodist Church in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, we answered that question by opting for computers. What follows is the approach we used to begin our computer program. These guidelines can help other churches to make that decision, too. Just because kids love computers is not the sole reason to move into this area. The decision to use computers must be based on sound educational principles that support the existing curriculum.
Computers are simply a high-tech tool to teach traditional values.
They do not replace the Sunday School teacher. Instead, they provide enrichment and reinforcement for the teacher s lesson and offer an appealing approach to Bible study. The fact that kids respond enthusiastically to computers is a bonus. Determine space allocation. Computers should be in a separate room, one securely locked and not used for other purposes.
