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.

Welcome to the TechSteward.net website & blog!
This web destination will be the place where we explore the stewardship of technology in the service of worship. In the coming weeks and months and years, we invite you to be a part of this conversation of how new media technologies can be stewarded to better serve the worshipping community.
This blog is kicking off with a webinar series that is leading up to the Stewardship of Technology Pre-Conference of National Worship Leader Conference on July 19-22 in Kansas City, Kansas.
The webinar series will start our conversations online along with this blog. Then the conversations will accelerate on-site and face-to-face at the NWLC 2010 Pre-Conference — this will be a one-day pre-conference event at all 3 NWLC’s: Albuquerque on June 15-17, Kansas City on July 19-22, and Lancaster PA on October 5-7.
Please join us on-line and on-site and let’s learn together how we can be great tech steward!
“Not since the guitar came to church in the late ’60s and ’70s, has there been such a fundamental and radical shift in how Christian communities worship. What’s driving this change? New mobile media and social networks.”
– Chuck Fromm, Publisher of Worship Leader Magazine
Introducing the NWLC 2010 Pre-Conference: Stewarding Technology in the Service of Worship : “Worship has a New Operating System“
