Last summer, we used a rotation model for summer Sunday School and children loved to come. The church is thinking about adopting the rotation model year-round. This allows teachers who are really good with drama to do the drama part of the presentation and not have to worry about the art part if they're not strong in art. With three or four weeks of lessons on the same topic, children who can't attend weekly tend not to feel left behind as they might if they needed to build on what was taught the week before, he said. The rotation plan recognizes that many children come from split homes and often alternate weekends staying with each parent.
Programs are available for older groups as well.
The CD features 26 Christian artists, including the Newsboys, a contemporary Christian rock band, who talk to the audience as well as sing to it, said Neu, former director of Youth for Christ in Columbus. He is director of research and development at Antioch Interactive, a multimedia development company in Gahanna. MacQueen's assessment of the product led him to write a supplemental study guide. Neu was impressed that MacQueen would make the addition for free. MacQueen disagrees with the contention that computers make students inattentive to teachers.
