We have so many leadership problems w/in evangelicalism b/c we (congregations, boards, etc.) choose leaders for the wrong reasons.
Utility>integrity
Platform size>fruits of the spirit
Charisma>character
@adadintheburbs @amart2468@edutopia I also teach students social studies. It can be incredibly hands on and the phone can be used as a helpful tool. All about the approach.
@adadintheburbs @amart2468@edutopia I agree folks can’t self regulate well when it comes to tech. I’m asking if education is necessary for phone usage as we would educate to drive a car. If yes, then teaching how to use in the classroom is a must.
@amart2468 @adadintheburbs @edutopia I agree. Regulation is incredibly rare. Sincere question, do you See a difference between teaching them to navigate a phone as a tool and Navigating a tool like a car?
@timkellernyc I try to understand why they hold those viewpoints. The Gospel is Pertinent to every platform, therefore, me approaching them in humility, where they’re coming from allows me to see what they value and show how Christ redeems our broken values.
4)the family unit was already broken on a mass scale as the stabilizer in the culture. When then the next stabilizer, society itself, stopped functioning normally it sent kids into a tailspin.
My thoughts, for what they’re worth, on #teaching post pandemic.
1) #teachers were amped at the prospect of normal so we went 100 mph to do what we’ve missed The past 2 years.
2) We expected our students to be in step with us picking up where we, the teacher, left off. Follow⬇️⬇️
@brianbbll148 Even thinking level for a group of kids is scary. Like you’re saying, kids have to be treated on a real time basis. Not by an expected growth chart
@RoscoeJones Do this all the time. It was part of a unit we did about fake, academic writing called “The Poisonous Fish.” I teach my 8th graders to do the same.
Let it be known, let it be declared by genuine followers of Jesus, that the man who opened fire in El Paso may invoke a christ of some kind but it is NOT our Christ. His christ would be unrecognizable to us. Unrecognizable in Scripture. We claim no christ of white nationalism.
