The Battle

We have completed the first 2 weeks of school and it has been exciting! The students and I have been discussing how with technology there is a battle. We can use it to Honor and Glorify God or we can use it for evil purposes. We discussed how as they get older there will be more and more options available and that my goal is to help them make the right choice.

The first thing we discussed was that they are Warriors  and all good Warriors need 3 things:

• Shield of Faith- BELIEVE
• The Sword of the Spirit- BIBLE
• Communication with the Commander- PRAY

We talked about how they will have their own user name and logins this year and they now have privileges they did not have previously. I sent home the Acceptable Use Guidelines for you to sign and review with your child and return immediately.  We also are reviewing it in class.


The second thing we discussed is how God wants them to choose HIM.  Psalm 144:1 it states:"Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle". So there it is, God knew 2000 years ago that these hands and fingers would have access to the world and that there was going to be a battle. Praise God that we know who won.

As you can see it is very important to me that they use this everchanging technology as a tool for righteouseness and not as a tool in the hand of the enemy!

Technology UPDATE: The students are logged in with their own username and passwords. Additionally, they have set up their computers with Word, Powerpoint , Excel and TT4. They have also learned to bookmark things on Safari. They are booking marking www.learning.com (which can be accessed from) home and our AR program because they have taken their Star Reader test.

It has been a blessing to have your children 2 times a week and I hope to hear from you on my blog with responses and input.

God Bless You and your day!!
