Tech Steward

Here are the slides from DJ Chuang’s presentation “What Does a Tech Steward Do?”

The worship team blog mentioned as an example is at www.csworshiparts.com.

Adam Hann‘s presentation notes are posted at his blog at adamhann.com/blog – permalink adamhann.com/blog/pre-conference-nwlc-2010/ includes his notes and social media guidelines and web links and books mentioned

And, here’s the “road map” for how a typical church adopts various online tools and technologies. I hope this can serve as headlights to light the way of what could be next for your worshipping community.

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.
