4 What is a 21st Century Catechist? Adapt to different learning styles Use technology for your own prep - Learn it! Use technology in the classroom as an aid Identify how the world looks at your kids and use the same practices Give your children an experience of Christ

5 Today Inspire You - Think differently about how you teach Give you real solutions to use Answer questions Resources - Drive kids to have a relationship with Christ

Mc Neal Ph.D,Paramount Marketing Publishing Street Trends by Janine Lopiano-Misdom & Joanne De Luca, Harper

10 Meet the New Kids The age of compression. Getting older at younger age Tweens are ages Different than the last generation of kids. Grow up faster, more connected, more direct and more informed. Have more power, money, influence and attention They have financial savvy. They are wired.

11 Who are Tweens Tweens spend $150 billion a year in the U.S. Tweens spend $1 trillion globally. Tweens influence parents to spend $150 billion. Tweens influence their parents purchases of major items such as cars, phones, clothes and homes.

12 At What Cost? Tweens have less imagination & creativity. Tweens demand immediate gratification. Tweens have a tendency to be insecure and depressed - easily teased - undeveloped sense of humor - vulnerable. Tweens are highly motivated by fear and often agitated by fear based marketing. Tweens have trouble with verbal communication and face to face confrontation. Act differently in different environments.

14 The Mirror Effect Marketing to Tweens Brand Child by Martin Lindstrom Thanet Press Ltd. Great Britain

15 4 Groups of Tweens Edges Persuaders Followers Reflexives

16 Keep it Catholic Use current online resources. Online has leader site and user site Match Catechetical information with technology - LIVE Bible Create your own web site - make it interactive, Use a Blog Make sure your catechetical information conforms with the USCCB. YouTube - Outside da Box - Skit Guys Catholic videos This is not school! Make it a true ministry - Positive EXPERIENCE OF Christ!

17 Lessons Learned Harness The Energy Invite The Key Players Something For Everyone Let Them Play Understand He-ing and She-ing

18 C2C Tips for Classroom This is NOT school. This is a ministry. To form them in our Catholic faith. Give them a POSITIVE experience of Christ Develop a relationship with Jesus - Prayer, understanding, serving others Develop real relationships with the students. Ask questions about their lives and use it in everyday teaching situations. Don t expect them to care. Most do not have a regular worship routine. It is our job to make them care. If they fail religious education it has no impact on their lives. College, sports, online. Ask ourselves: are our teaching methods, times, regularity and subject matter are out of sync with their lives? How can we better connect faith values and issues with their present day life?

19 C2C Tips for Classroom Poll students on favorite books, music, TV shows, movies, sport teams. Ask questions! Look for connections to their lives. Play games based on curriculum Role play, short dramas Be interactive, have them read, use cell phones to look up bible passage or to find answer online

20 C2C Tips for Classroom Play pop songs and use for prayer, discussion ( Have students bring instruments in to play songs for class (prayer time) Use your publishers website for kids to log into on smart phone during class. Have them pray for each other and with each other. Introduce different forms of prayer - Explain it!

21 Service Connect classroom catechesis to real world experiences. Kids must make the connection themselves. Catholic Connection! Forms a pattern of giving Make a service project an opportunity to teach! Set it up with scripture, a short video. Explain what they are going to do and why. Build in a time to recap the experience. Small group session or a short Q&A after the event.

22 Service Work with local agencies. Many have age appropriate jobs for your group. Be a Resource for your Tweens! Food Bank, Senior Citizen Homes,Catholic Charities, New Eyes For The Needy, Pet Adoption programs (valuing life!) United Way. Help parish seniors with home chores, Military programs, walk-a-thons, BE CREATIVE! Talk to your DRE about class or group service!

23 Tools of Today Use a communications program - FlockNote - Use Text Messaging service like WebSMS Share files by using Google Calendar, documents Challenge or scavenger hunt Power Point - interactive games YouTube, GodTube - Review before showing

24 Tools of Today Create a Blog Develop a Facebook and Twitter Page Text Message Challenge (use a service if at all possible) Android and iphone Apps - Confession, All sorts of things Movies, music - Visual, interactive Game Show type of interactive fun - Be creative!
