21st Century Evangelization and Education

If students don’t learn the way we teach, perhaps, we should teach them the way they learn. 21st century teachers should adjust to the culture, needs, language and context of the students if they want meaningful, effective and relevant learning to take place. This is Faith 2.0.

The use of technology, Internet, Web 2.0 tools and social networking sites can help students develop higher level thinking skills. 21st century educators should use the language of the digital generation for education, values formation and evangelization. This is Faith 2.0.

Social Media is the biggest shift and latest trend in evangelization and education. Religious and educational institutions need to utilize the available tools to spread the Word and Love of God. This is Faith 2.0.

“The media are invaluable helps for Christian education. They can call on the services of the greatest specialists in religious teaching as well as of experts on all the questions that arise. The media have at their command all the technical facilities required for attractive and contemporary presentation. They can back up most effectively the personal work of the daily teacher. Their resources make possible the radical changes that are required in the whole style of religious instruction today.” (Communio Et Progressio No. 129)
