Funny thing, but I know Matt West personally. He's someone I've worked with professionally, and he's a great guy. You might already have his email and contact info, but in case you don't the email I have for him is matt.west@nomoremortgage.com. On a separate note, I haven't had a lot of time to dive into the multiplicity of content on your blog, but what I have seen is sparking a lot of thought on my part. Very cool. I'll have to get into the meat of it more so I can speak intelligently next time I comment. :) Hey Jeff. Funny thing, but I know Matt West personally.

You bring up a good point. A lot of what I am writing assumes that folks have a computer or at least access to one. From <a href="http://mormontechie.vanswebsites.com/2008/07/digital-spiritual-learners/" rel="nofollow">the video</a> I posted a couple of days ago we see some statistics about how many students have access, but my overall guess would be 60-90% of US students have access to a computer somewhere... and if they don't have access to a computer, someone else in the class does that they can work with. Collaboration. That being said, the media is another question, and I think the church is coming along in the right direction. Online now you can get hundreds of hours of general conference. CES also developed a massive multi-media CD for each year of study over the past couple of years. It is not online yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. You run into copyright issues at some point and that will need to be considered, but many things can be found in free domain. That is also assuming that all projects will use that type of media... they may use something totally different... the possiblities are endless and until we allow students the opportunities we won't even know what they can do. Oh, one last thought... for less advantaged kids, there is always someone that has old computers they are more then willing to give to a needly family. I have five right now just waiting for someone to ask for them... and they will... Thanks for your comment Josiah. You bring up a good point.

While blogging platforms abound (and are free), hardware like computers and cameras are largely up to the users to provide. So particularly, I am thinking along the lines of church materials. How can we present scriptures, general conference addresses, and other materials in a way that is both easy to include in their project AND interact with on a social level? I would like your input on this - I have been trying to figure this one out for a while now... What resources can be gathered together to foster this kind of learning.
