In my travels I get to meet so many exceptional Catholic teachers doing great work all over North America. Over the last few months, I have been privileged to sit down and chat with several of these folks who are leading faith integration in their own schools and I am delighted to be able to start sharing those conversations with you here.
Today, you’ll hear from Brooke DeVille, campus minister and technology director and teacher at St. Peter’s School in Covington Louisana. In the hopper we’ve got great content coming from educators like Wyatt Nagel, former seminarian and banker, who teaches business at St. Mary’s Central High School in Bismarck, ND, Craig May, who built an integrated middle-school English curriculum from scratch at O’Hara Catholic School in Eugene, OR, and Sean Kane, principal and faith integration leader at Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, MA.
In this MECC conversation, Brooke hares how she helps middle school students think about technology through a Catholic lens. We talk about teaching coding, robotics, and digital literacy while also asking deeper questions about stewardship, creativity, and the moral use of screens. Along the way we explore screen-time reflections, schoolwide “technology fasts,” 3D-printing a Nativity scene, building pilgrimage websites, and why learning to use technology well is really about forming students as digital disciples.
