Every day, starting today, through Friday, please VOTE for our VIDEO! Smarttech has some pretty cool prizes for the winners of this contest. Items that my childrens’ school could really use. Here’s what we could win:

Stuck

It seems to me that the church gets stuck on petty consumer issues like: Which computer platform is better?… Microsoft or Macintosh…What a shame…
Church leaders today need to be educated on the how technology truly impacts our world strategically. They need to take ownership in the fact that for better or worse, we live in a technical world. They need to take ownership in their own pursuit of learning high level, strategic views into the good, bad and ugly areas of technology and stop passing this responsibility off on technology professionals.
