Sandy: I note that you have created a page. I pasted in text below from the proposal that you and Matt are working up. I am unsure if you were trying to link to a new page or another wiki site with you link above, but what you have the link connected to is this page. If you have created a new wiki site, you can link over to it using the link function, but choose to link to a url, not a page.

You can edit all of this stuff out and add to your page here what you want by choosing the edit button and then edit the page and then save.

Project Proposal Matt Gehrett and Sandy Pérez

How do Christians parent their children in a networked world?

How do we encourage our children to make good decisions online based on our values?

How do we support and correct when our children make bad decisions online?

Our proposed project will try to address these questions. There is a real need for a resource

for Christians to use as they parent their children in the networked world. We would like to

explore ways which could be incorporated into a deeper understanding for other parents

to use as a guide.

We propose to create an online resource for personal, community and congregational

use that address scriptural principles, habits of the heart, practical online resources, and

insight from other Christian parents who have or are currently travelling this journey with

their children. We will investigate what has been written by others on the same topic and

what others have learned will apply to our own need to understand and educate others.

We will explore current research from authors with expertise in cyberspace safety to

ground the practical advice to parents.

Videos, multimedia slideshows, and audio podcasts and cyber links will be included in the

resources available to Christian parents.

Scholarly journals and books on the subject will be reviewed as well.

My project will address two of the course objectives directly and indirectly address the

other course objectives.

The two objectives directly addressed are:

Describe and analyze the cultural and spiritual implications of electronic networks

Describe and apply approaches to living with integrity in the networked world as it applies to parenting teens

At this time Matt and I have collaborated on this project and we have taken his proposal

and integrated our combined ideas into the proposal you see.
