I am continuing the series of posts on kidmin and video games. In my research, I came across Evoke. According to Evoke's blog, "Evoke is a ten-week crash course in changing the world. It is free to play and open to anyone, anywhere. The goal of the social network game is to help empower young people all over the world to come up with creative solutions to our most urgent social problems." Evoke is the kind of thing children's and family ministry leaders need to pay attention to! Imagine if we could engage kids in virtual projects aimed at faith formation (serving, evangelism, discipleship, prayer). Expect to see more and more games like Evoke in days to come. If you are a gamer or know any programmers, DM me on Twitter! I'd love to explore this idea!

Is there a reason why the Cory Center has a technology blog for a children's and family ministry website? Find out.

What tools are you using to connect to people in the children's and family ministry?

I came across an excellent article reflecting data and conclusions about the study of the impact of e-learning and learner’s views on the physical places where they learn. From my understanding, this study was intended to help organizations plan better learning spaces (buildings, centers, libraries, colleges, schools, etc…) but the information revealed some key components of digital learners that are helpful for children’s and family leaders.

A new study came out addressing the question of who the majority of Facebook users are and what kind of friendships are created.
