Presentation Tools & Tips for Leaders

Building Up Your Digital Repertoire

Leaders today must be able to use digital resources to reach and engage families. You can create and share beautiful images on your website or social media with Unsplash and Canva. You can save articles that you see on faith, families, and parenting with the application called "Pocket." Pocket allows you to tag the articles so you can go back, read it in full, and share when appropriate. And today, more than ever, we also need to be able to reach families virtually: build your own digital playlist on Weebly, hold small group meetings, classes, even breakouts with Zoom, and create community with social media and hashtags.
