Promoting Life: Teaching the Fifth Commandment

Teaching the Sacraments with Digital Creativity
Computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, interactive whiteboards, apps, blogs, and tweets: Technology is part of our everyday lives at home, in school, and in the parish. Technology is here to stay, and it can be a great gift in ministry!
