Over the past few years, the blog and website has been neglected. I have many ideas of things to share with others, but it has been difficult to harness the discipline (see this post on this word) to do so, especially since the onset of COVID disrupted many personal and professional patterns. It is time to either renew a commitment to personal reflection and sharing ideas with others or allow this effort to fade away.

To that end, I have taken steps to revitalize this site — steps which I hope will both motivate me as a reflector and sharer and also make this site more practical for readers to identify content of interest to them. I have also expanded the scope of the blog to consist of two new categories of content: New Learning and Baseball History. While these new categories may not reflect the original focus of the blog, I have added them because they are distinct to my interests. My primary professional and personal interests are now housed in a single site. We will see how this works out.

To help you as readers, here are some intentional changes I have made to FaithEdTech:

• Original content has now been organized into five categories: Faith, Education, Technology, New Learning, and Baseball History. If you are interested in a particular topic but not the others, a click on the text link at the top of each page will take you to that content only. Of course, the main page will continue to share all the new content across the categories.
• Many past articles are cross-posted on the various pages if their content applies to more than one category.
• The static pages of About Me and Session Resources have been updated.

I am not sure how to make this sound humble, but reading through past posts was very motivating for me to continue creating content for this blog. I was impressed with the quality of much of what I shared. I had not looked at the past content for a while, so it was almost as if there was new learning for me through that process. That served to remind me that it is important to share with others, even if it is with only a handful of viewers. In addition, it brought to mind the importance of the writing process for accurate reflection. In the end, it does not matter if content is read if the blogging process helps me become a better teacher, researcher, and a more faithful servant of the Lord.

I invite you to continue to read and join me on this journey as we explore faith, education, and technology together.
