Intergretation of Faith, Learning, and Technology

I have been thinking alot about my interview with Mrs. Van Brocklin and how what said about the Intergretation of Faith and Learning. We as a college need to come together more especially as a christian college. We need to witness to each other and be there for each other especially when it comes to academics. Academics can really bare down your mind and get you pulled away from God. This is one of the times you most need God. God gave us a mind of Christ. So why wouldn't we call on him? He gave us this mind so why couldn't he help us out with it?

Also I think that we don't need to help each other through email or facebook. Yes, they are good so you have a hard copy of what you talked about or have for reference notes in the Bible. However I believe that is too impersonal. Being a christian is having a personal relationship between you and God. So just having technology as a one on one source base between you and another person is not always good. Techonolgoy is great dont get me wrong however it makes things too impersonal and I believe as community we need to come together and share the faith one on one.

Interview with Dr. Van Brocklin

For my interview I decided on talking to a teacher. Mrs. Van Brocklin. She kindly took time out of her busy schedule to chat with me a little bit about what her views on intergration of faith, learning and technology. She was great talking about how she feels about it and how she believes we as college students could act on intergration of faith. She also talked to me about how she feels technology and if it is taking the place of faith.

Save the kids....

I know in all of my postings lately I have been talking about Obama, but i think I should. I mean that is what is going on in the world today and it is very important to every American. The big buzz in the news about Obama is the stimulus plan and how he is trying to save america economically. Recently I have been reading about how he is going to put more money towards students education. Schools need more books and investments in the actual buidlings that children go to. Obama promises that every student in the will have the internet in the school. Obama believes that the school is very important. Also he believes that there should be efficent amount of money to provide to the schools and the teachers. He talks about in many different articles that children are the future. He is right they are they need to have the most education possible. He also promises that there will be more access to internet for students, which I think is also good because the world functions on the internet and other types of technology.

God says that the children are the world. He has a special kind of love for children. Yes he loves everyone the same but children have a special place in their hearts. I believe it is because kids are so innocent and don't know as much. So I believe this is one of the good choices in the stimulus plan. Kids are the future but they can't be when they are neglated and not taught the proper things.
