Online Presenting at Worshiping in the Matrix
Filed in: Slides Add comments
(DJ Chuang) I’m honored to be invited to present at the Worshiping in the Matrix: technology in communication, culture, and the church conference via Skype video chat. Here are the slides from my workshop titled “Choosing Social Media that Fit Your Worshiping Community,” where I introduced several churches as examples of how they’re using social media to connect with God, to connect their worshipping community, and to extend their Gospel ministry; and also listed key questions to choose the right social media and web apps to fit a particular context.
