Summer Institute for Technology in Ministry 2011

Option 1

Pastoral Technology Certificate Level The certificate level will give you the maximum training and

benefit, and is the most cost-effective. This level offers a planned series of study designed to give you

hands-on experience in Web 2.0 technologies that will enhance your ministry to

meet 21st century needs. We will utilize a blended format where we will meet in a

traditional face-to-face or webinar format. Your creativity will be challenged to

design and implement a final capstone project that you will customize for your

ministry or classroom. You will receive CEUs from the University of Dayton,

Institute of Pastoral Initiatives at the completion of all work in December, 2011.

Cost: $160 for all 8 modules including Orientation

This option is designed to mentor catechetical and ministry staff in gaining 21st century skills for

communication and faith-based educational technology, for teachers seeking continuing education credit

for recertification, and for those who are eager to learn more about using the most popular educational

tools available.

There are TWO options for participation in this course.

Option 2

Individual Session Level For those who are already comfortable in a module area or unable to

commit to the proposed schedule, yet are interested in specific topics, you may register for INDIVIDUAL

MODULES on a space-available basis. However, priority registration will be given to participants who are

interested in completing the requirements for the Pastoral Technology Certificate.

Cost: $25 for Orientation plus $25 for each additional module

This option is best for those who already have a good foundation in educational technology or who just

want to learn about a few of the topics. Candidates on this level will still be required to attend the

Orientation Module on June 15.
