Technology and the Church: Part 2 (19x2)

Data di messa in onda: Set 25, 2001

This week we continue with part two in our series on how religious groups, other non-profits or community groups can use the computer and the Internet to better run their organizations. CCN Special Part Two [Episode #1902, First broadcast: 9/25/2001] First, we see how computer technologies are integrated into church services. Dan Burke, multimedia director at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, gives tips on the best ways to incorporate sound and video into any community meeting. Next, we tackle one of he biggest problems for community when handling administrative aspects of their organization like paying bills, keeping track of donations and dealing with staff and volunteers. Stephen Wolf of NetLedger, now part of Oracle’s small business suite, shows us how more people are using online applications to handle the administration of their groups rather than boxed software. And finally, if an education program is part of your community or church group’s activities, online research tools can be invaluable. One of the more simple research search engines is askjeeves.com and we’ll explain the best ways to use it. http://archive.org/details/Technolo2001_2
