  1. Stuart Baker Catholic Education South Australia Our call as Catholic Educators is to engage our students in coming to know Jesus more fully through learning experiences that draw out religious meaning for young people of the 21st century using texts, tools and resources of the popular culture and equip them to be confident, appreciative and critical users of them.

  2. Into the 21st Century ……educators and systems spent the 20th century perfecting the 19th century model of schooling. Heppell, S. (2005). Episode 1: Learning in the third millennium (as quoted by Greg Whitby, Pedagogies for the 21st Century, ACEL Conference 2007)

  3. The Church challenges us to speak meaningfully to this generation. (See GDC 325)

  4. When we adapt our materials to the culture of students we follow the teaching methods of Jesus himself. The aim of each generation is to find a fresh new language that resonates with students so that they may encounter Jesus at the heart of their lives and culture. Gerard Holohan, Australian Religious Education – Facing the Challenges, NCEC, 1999

  5. Our work… spread the good news! Evangelisation loses much of its force and effectiveness if it does not take into consideration the actual people it addresses, if it does not use their language, their signs and symbols, if it does not have an impact on their lives. (Pope Paul VI – EN n.63)

  6. A new proclamation for our times ‘New Evangelisation’ - an approach to evangelisation that is “new in ardour,, methods and expression”. What ways could Web 2.0 tools be used to proclaim the gospel?

  7. The Church must always communicate its message in a manner suited to each age and culture… so today it must communicate in and to the emerging media culture. (no.9) Aetatis Novae (Dawning of a New Era) Pontifical Council for Social Communications

  8. Will RichardsonLiteracy 2.0Educational Leadership, March 2009 Outside school, many students are accomplished authors, filmmakers, animators and recording artists. They are concerned with the quality of their work and the meaning it conveys.(p22) How do we harness this inside the classroom?

  9. Visual images / Photos / Clip Art / Podcasting Movies / Animations / Digital Storytelling http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/StoryTools

  10. http://www.acmi.net.au/screenit.htm Australia's moving image competition for primary school students and secondary school students. Screen It is a fun way of engaging students whilst they learn about the creative and technical processes that lie behind their favourite forms of entertainment - cartoons, films and computer games. The theme for Screen It 2008 was Australian Identity

  11. MESSAGE OF POPE BENEDICT XVIFOR THE 43rd WORLD DAY OF COMMUNICATIONS May 24, 2009"New Technologies, New Relationships. Promoting a Culture of Respect, Dialogue and Friendship." Young people, in particular, have grasped the enormous capacity of the new media to foster connectedness, communication and understanding between individuals and communities, and they are turning to them as means of communicating with existing friends, of meeting new friends, of forming communities and networks, of seeking information and news, and of sharing their ideas and opinions. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/messages/communications/documents/hf_ben-xvi_mes_20090124_43rd-world-communications-day_en.html

  12. Partnerships in Faith & Education - Family Parents have a particularly important part to play in the educating community, since it is to them that the primary responsibility for their children’s education belongs. [CSTTM n20]

  16. Evangelisation -Telling the Story in CyberspaceBy Geoffrey PlantCompass: A review of topical theologyVol 42(winter) 2008 … we must put an electronic ‘skin’ on our proclamation of the Gospel, to incarnate its truth in picture, image and story and proclaim it in… Websites, podcasts, videocasts, blogs and Facebook.

  17. “The Church would feel guilty before the Lord if she did not utilise these powerful means that human skill is daily rendering more perfect.” Pope Paul VI, 1975 Evangelii nuntiandi (On Evangelisation in the Modern World)

  18. Finding Jesus… Christian art doesn’t have to speak about Jesus in order to be Christian. It has to possess the truth that is Jesus in order to be Christian... He can live in the body of the work, behind the words and through the images. (p.5) Hogan, J. (2008) Reel Parables: Life lessons from Popular Films. Paulist Press: New York

  20. The Guardian, Thursday 12th Feb 2009 “A report from the European parliament concluded that computer games are good for children and teach them essential life skills.

  22. This term in the month of May, the students will be participating in KESAB’s Gutter Guardian Campaign. Part of the exercise is collecting litter that has blown out of the schoolyard into the nearby street gutters. Playground Rules highlights how important it is, to put school litter in the bin. Therefore, this ICT resource has Science and Studies of Society and Environment links.

  23. “Teaching about the Internet and the new technology involves much more than teaching techniques; young people need to learn how to function well in the world of cyberspace, make discerning judgments according to sound moral criteria about what they find there, and use the new technology for their integral development and the benefit of others.” (Pontifical Council for Social Communications – The Church and the Internet)

  24. Australian Bishops Conference- Go Tell Everyone: A Pastoral Letter on the Media, 2006 Educators have a special responsibility to ensure that children are given sufficient opportunities to develop those skills which will enable them to live in our audio-visual world… Young media users need to be taught to be appreciative, critical and discriminating with the media of social communication.

  25. MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER BENEDICT XVI FOR THE 41st WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAYTheme: "Children and the Media: A Challenge for Education"May 20, 2007 …training in the proper use of the media is essential for the cultural, moral and spiritual development of children. (n.2) http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/messages/communications/documents/hf_ben-xvi_mes_20070124_41st-world-communications-day_en.html

  29. “As we educators stick our heads up and get the lay of the 21st century land, we would be wise to remember: if we don’t stop and listen to the kids we serve, value their opinions, and make major changes on the basis of their valid suggestions they offer, we will be left in the 21st century with school buildings to administer – but with students who are physically or mentally somewhere else. (Marc Prensky, 2006)

  30. Archbishop Oscar Romero This is what we are about. We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development. We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities. We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.

  31. Pope John Paul IIThe Church and the Internet I dare to summon the whole Church bravely to cross this new threshold, to put out into the deep of the Net, so that now as in the past the great engagement of the Gospel and culture may show to the world "the glory of God on the face of Christ”(2 Cor 4:6). May the Lord bless all those who work for this aim. 

  32. Questions How do we speak meaningfully to this generation? As “new evangelisers…” What is already going well? What new ways are possible? How do we inform, form and transform young people as consumers and producers of media? How can we put an “electronic skin” on the Jesus story?
