Say What Now?

1. How would you use technology in the day to day operations of your career field?
    Researching/looking for songs and sheet music; Setting up Powerpoint presentations for services; Excel sheets for lineups and attendance graphs; downloading MP3's.
2. What technology do you use to communication with other professionals?
    Email and texts
3. If/when presenting to other professionals, what do you use to do so?
    Powerpoint, EasyWorship
4. What is your theory about the type of technology that will be used in the future in this profession?
    My mentor didn't really have a theory, but a glorious ideal. As most sheet music is becoming digital, he thought it'd be cool to see sheet music created by recording of piano or various instruments playing.
5. As a student and future professional, how can you imagine technology being incorporated in this profession?
    Refer to 1 and 4.

Being thrown into this setting of music ministry and choir direction, I'm constantly using Microsoft Word to type up lyrics for my choir or to create calendars. I also find NoteFlight.com very useful to compose music or arrange pieces. I'm constantly texting my choir members, reminding them of times, locations, etc.

  1. Wow, LOTS of technology used in music ministry!!! I am sure they upload music videos to church's website-record c.d.'s, etc. What is 'Easy Worship'?
    The only reason your grade is low is due to the time you submitted blog-it was due Nov. 30.

  2. EasyWorship is an easy way to present song lyrics to a congregation rather than using PowerPoint. It makes it easier to go to a certain slide in the middle of the song.
    My mentors didn't go into work last week because they were sick and I didn't get to talk with them.
