2. So, how does technology help us in this effort and what are some of the practical principles we apply when implementing technology?
Technology is a tool, not a solution. People must be involved in implementing the tool to get to the solution, and therefore, the technology or tools being used must be simple to use. Many people around the world do not have the luxury of growing up with technology or having easy access to it like we do in this country, so technology as it is being implemented needs to be simple to use. It may even be complex underneath, but the users need never see that part.

3. Technology is a tool, not a toy.
All of us have I’m sure at least 2-3 s a day that come from people who feel it is their duty to share with us a joke of the day or some thought like that. How many of us really look at what they send anymore?
All of us like the toys, but unless the technology helps us accomplish our core mission, we don’t implement it.

4. What kind of things can technology help us with?
Research
Teaching / models
Visual aids
Discipleship
Mentoring People

8. Elephants versus Rabbits
Practically continuously fertile.
Average of seven babies per pregnancy.
1 month gestation period.
Sexual maturity: 4 months.
3 years: 2 -> 476 million (ideal potential)
Only fertile four times per year.
Only one baby per pregnancy.
22 month gestation period.
Sexual maturity: 18 years.
3 years: 2 -> 3

9. When implementing technology, we try to answer a few questions:
Who
What
When
Where
How

10. Who Who are we trying to help or address?
This may sound obvious, but so many times, I find people are trying to address “everyone”. We don’t. We think about who we are trying to solve a problem for and figure out the best way to do that.

11. What
Defining the what you are going to do is sometimes the most difficult thing.
Our basic principle here is to buy or use something that is already existing rather than build. Don’t build something unless you can support it.
Each target audience may have a different need.

12. When
We try to determine when we need to have tools and solutions implemented by.
This is important to us and has a direct effect on the amount of resources or dollars we may need to apply to a project to get things done. 

13. Where
For some of you, this may not be a problem, but for any group that is working internationally, this must be a consideration. Where the tools will be used and what technology they have there, generally has a direct bearing on the kind of solution you are defining.

14. How
One of the first, is how are we going to pay for this? I’m sure most of you don’t have to deal with this, but we do. Therefore, the better we can show how this tool will be used and what impact it can have on helping to saturate nations with churches, the better we can find help in getting this funded.

15. How How are we going to measure the outcomes?
How are we going to report the results?
How can this tool be used by other members of the Body of Christ?

16. How
How do we determine if this stuff is working or really helping or what else can we do to make it better?
Have you ever asked anyone how things are going and they say fine?
