Each week we will spend some time discussing a computer topic. The level of technical depth will depend on the interest of the class. The purpose of these discussions will be to clarify terminology, answer questions and provide information necessary to participate in the religious world of cyberspace.
Following the technical discussion, we will visit a variety of web sites and other Internet areas to research a particular topic of interest to a faith community like CBC. We may not visit every site compiled each week, but participants will be encouraged to view this site during the week. We will end on a "discussion site of the week" which act as a spring board for discussion about relevant religious issues.
