As a school teacher, I am exposed to the continuous "latest study" of how to teach or present information. New gizmos, ipods, technology integration, blah blah blah. Everyone seems to think to have the latest gee whiz item is equitable to being cool or hip and if you are hip or cool that you are a good teacher. I am a fundamentalist and I use basic teaching skills or old school techniques. God has allowed me to rise from a basic teacher to the school's highest score achieving teacher within four years. I parallel this anecdote to being a christian. Stick to the basics.. Read the bible, pray to God, be faithful, glorify God, and spread the word of God. The younger generation wants continuity to validate themselves in this everchanging world. You are their anchor in life's rolling sea. The young can help us communicate in their terms but we must present the ancient words of the bible without worrying whether it is at the moment fashionable. Old is GOOD! We are the mentors of God's laws and commandment and must not fall prey to the deception that being socially cool is the same as being a good teacher. We are not of this world and the world hates the christian because we are soldiers for christ. So being cool is not necessarily good..I would rather be a dork christian than a cool teacher....enuf sed
