“Shortest Catechetical Media/Tech eLetter Ever” from NACMP Vol. 02 Issue 01

***Adult Faith Formation Article for the Day (thank you Ms. Diane
O'Connor):
"Moving Online: Faith Formation in a Digital Age" by Julie Anne Lytle,
Volume 4, Issue 1, Spring 2010 - Faith Formation and the New Digital
Media. You can create a free account for free resources at John
Roberto's http://www.lifelongfaith.com/. I just downloaded Mary Hess's
"Living Faith in a Media World". Wow!

***Youth Ministry Resource for the Day (thank you Mr. Kent Schmitz):
Lots of Youth Ministry info, happenings, kudos, resources and neat
stuff at http://www.dscottmiller.com

***Book suggestion for the day (thank you Ms. Kathy Ward):
"Mass, A Guide For Visual Learners" is a booklet for children and
adults with autism - or anyone who learns best visually. This is a
photo-rich book with clear text, explaining each part of the Mass. $5
+ $5 processing = $10. Read more at http://faithmag.com/faithmag/column2.asp?ArticleID=997

***Media literacy quote of the day (thank you Sr. Rose Pacatte):
When you ask young people about their media preferences and why, don't
argue their answers. Share your own media favorites and why thus
sharing insights and values in a genuine dialogue.

***Youtube video tip for the day (thank you Ms. Cherryl Sagan):
For the world's smallest newsletter: go to YouTube for the Bible in 3
minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3_UHjM7mow&feature=related .
