Tools of the Trade

Posted By Carlos on June 11, 2009

As you know, I’ve become a big fan of using tools and resources that go beyond those found in our textbook.  In some of my prior posts, I’ve highlighted music selections, videos and documents that I like to use in an effort to get a point across in a non-traditional way.  I’ve found that these, especially the new media options, resonate well with my 6th graders and I like to take advantage of that.

To help share these resources, I’ve created a Tools page on the blog.  On this page, I will link to the various tools that I have used or intend to use in the future.  I hope other Catechists find some value in them as I have.  To access the page, go to the Menu Bar above and click on “Tools“.

About the author

Carlos

My name is Carlos Torres, and for better or for worse, I am a Catechist. As a Catechist, I help supplement the religious education that parents give at home with focused and detailed lessons around Scripture and Tradition as taught by the Church. Now, I have no background in teaching, much less in dealing with a group of tweens and teens who don’t want to be with me, in a classroom, on a weeknight, learning about faith; yet week after week, I and many other Catechists do just that by letting the Holy Spirit guide us in planting those seeds and helping fulfill the Church’s mission to “go and make disciples”.

    Here’s a pithy Big Picture article about Catholicism that may suit you.

    “With its divine foundation, sanction, and mission, nothing could be more glorious than the Catholic Church. But, of course, many people — even many baptized Catholics — don’t see it that way.”
