Example: Wordle As a team-building exercise, I would ask my youth ministers to each submit several words that they feel describe themselves. I would compile the words into a Wordle that would illustrate the combined gifts, talents and strengths of the team. (Claudia)

I will be using Wordle as one of our new fundraising tools. It is very visual and powerful. I envision the Wordle being part of our print marketing campaign...brochures, bookmarks, postcards, even tee-shirts. It will be a different way to get everyone excited. Angela Jackson

I will use Delicious to collect my webpages. This is a great tool that I wished I knew about sooner. I do a lot of research on-line and ofter write down address so that I can remember where I found a piece of information. I opened my account last night! (Claire McManus)

I would use 30 hands to present a slide show. In class we talk to our students about a feast day, a catholic teaching or try to go deeper into scripture. But sometimes I am not sure if the youth are really paying attention. I would like to place pictures in a dropbox and have the students take the pictures and create a slide show telling me what they know about the picture. (Tanya LeSane)

I see myself using SlideShare with our ministry leaders. If I find a great presentation on a topic of interest, I can send everyone the link (Melissa Findley)

I currently use both Dropbox and GoogleDocs, and have used it to collaborate with youth and youth ministers when we have been planning events. Use it with the diocesan youth to plan for our convention, retreats and leadership institute. It is a great tool that allows the catechists to get documents to me that they need prepared for their classes, and to get updates, forms, etc. that they will need for their classes. (Rose Mary Saraiva)
