Thanks to everyone for attending and engaging actively at the Stewardship of Technology Pre-Conference at #nwlc10!
We mentioned a bunch of resources, and I’m hoping to list them here so you can easily share them and refer to them. Please add a comment with additional resources and more questions and comments and we’ll respond, as we continue the conversation on being better tech stewards.

We’ve had an engaging Tech Steward Tuesday webinar series during the past month and a half, and we wrap up this series tomorrow (2pm PT/ 5pm ET) with one more, Do you have what it takes to be a tech steward? (Registration is free.)
Next week, we will meet in person at the Stewardship of Technology Pre-Conference of National Worship Leader Conference on July 19-22 in Kansas City, Kansas. I sure hope you’ll be there!
And here at this blog, we will continue to host a conversation exploring the stewardship of technology in the service of worship. Please browse the past blog posts and jump in any time with what you’re learning (or would like to learn) about how new media technologies can be better stewarded to serve the worshipping community.

Today’s webinar covered some aspects related to privacy on using Facebook. This seems to be an evolving thing when Facebook has occasionally changed its privacy policy and/or its terms of use, and for many of us who aren’t technologically or legally conversant, these changes can take us by surprise. Here are the slides from the webinar:
And here’s a recap of the webinar. Next time you login to Facebook, go to facebook.com/privacy and check your settings. Take a look at each line and understand who will be able to view the info that you share, both about yourself and the things you like and/or are connected to. Make your settings fit your comfort level of how much personal information you share with others.
2 great resources to learn more about how your church can use Facebook: (1) Facebook for Churches blog series by Danielle Hartland; (2) Facebook training videos from Lifechurch.tv.
The recording of this webinar (and previous webinars) will be available for free download. See the next blog post for instructions.

Appreciated the conversations from the 2nd workshop I facilitated at #nwlc10, Top Online Tools to connect your community. (My other workshop was Technology Steward 101, which was an extended discussion of the pre-conference topic.) Here’s the slides:
Links to resources mentioned during workshop discussions:
Anything else I forgot? Any other great resources for using social media beyond broadcasting announcements and sharing content? The opportunity is to coordinate user-generated content to build up a church community, its relationships, and its witness in the world. In a world where everyone can publish and produce fresh expressions of faith and creativity, tech stewards play a vital role to orchestrate individuals into a unified corporate voice.
And now, the discussion is opened up to the world! TechSteward.net is the place where you can ask your questions with church leaders in a similar role, your peers, and share your learnings as worship leaders and church leaders on how to select social media apps that fit a specific church context, how you evaluate what’s working, how you train up key leaders, defining roles, responsibilities, and policies or guidelines.
