A4, Engaging Individuals with Technology by Rev. Kristen Preud’homme & Allyson James

Technology is a powerful tool. Discover ways individual Unity ministries have used technology to share their message and support the work of their organization. This presentation will include real examples of online engagement with congregants: from online prayer chains to video messages, stories, memorial pages, retreat registration, texting services and more.  Session attendees will participate in a real-time online texting scenario and witness the power of a personal connection via technology. The power of technology is exemplified by the data it generates. We’ll take a look at how to capture and review data in relation to technology using tools such as Google Analytics, online surveys and online fundraising. Learn how to read and interpret the data to help you use your digital tools to reach more individuals in a meaningful way.
