Return of Church of Christ and Social Media

Greetings,
Since the beginning of Church of Christ and Social Media several years ago, I have been blessed
by the outpouring of support and love from my brothers and sisters of Christ from around the world.
It has been an honor and privelidge to be not just a blogger, but a content creator for Christ.
Digital Evangelism is here to stay and growing. The Web 3.0, Web 2.0 and the Metaverse are
influencing how people are worshing, praising the Lord, in prayer and uplifting the Word of God.
Since I started this content platform several years ago, I have been diligent and steadfast on
providing content as a member of the Body of Christ, public school and higher education
teacher and even in support of the Podcast and other events and activities God has placed in my
path.
I have started a Podcast called My Quest to Teach & Digial Evangelism to keep up with the changes
in technology https://anchor.fm/william-d-jackson Being flexible and engaging is important and
powerful to share the Word of the Lord.
I’m humbled to share that this platform will be started again on Friday, April 1st 2022 and this is
NO APRIL FOOLS JOKE.!!!!!
The Lord has directed me to start again and to lift up His Word and build His kingdom with
content that is NOT religious, content that contains the Word of God and His Spirit.
I have always been a servant and of service, through my skills, talents, abilities, love and
faith I will be activating this site one more time to create, post and share content from my
Lord and Savior that he has blessed me with.
I also invite my brothers and sister that are in virtual spaces to church on AltSpace VR on
the Metaverse. The First Meta Church is were myself and my wife and other believers in
Christ will be of service. Started by Stefan Young, it is with great honor that we worship
with him and praise God.
and at San Jose Church of Christ in person and on occassion virtually.
Come learn about the love of Christ, the love of the Lord and worship can be in person,
virtually and in spirit and in truth. More information will be posted as the time counts
down to the start of a new season of content development and creation.
Blessings to everyone !!!!

The Power of Blogging – Opening Dynamic Digital Doorways

The Power of Blogging – Opening Dynamic Digital Doorways
by William Jackson @wmjackson

WordCamp Jacksonville 2019

Blogging is a dynamic digital doorway to discovery and social engagements
that are continuously changing. Blog provide a voice to the voiceless and a
platform to tell a story. Traditional processes of communication have changed
from verbal exchanges to the infusion of digital tools and platforms that
allow for uninterrupted connections and enhanced exchanges of information.

The tools or platforms range from Vblogging, Podcasting, Instagraming,
Snap-chatting, Vining, Periscope, Voxing, Facebook Live and the list continues
to grow.  As a past instructor teaching Educational Technology, Social Media
and STEAM at a historically Black higher educational institution –
HBCU Edward Waters College. The opportunity to teach, expose and bring
to light how powerful tech can be is awesome and a little intimidating.

There is a need for instruction that is tailored not to specific platforms,
but an open discussion of the why Social Media should be implemented
and how to effectively to get students to understand that their career
success is dependent on their gaining knowledge, acquiring resources
and networking. As shared by a previous student Crystal Sanders, attending
the class on blogging and technology; “as a future educational leader
you maybe required to conduct training’s on a platform or formats using
productivity tools and digital tools.” Educators must be able to apply real
learning to real relevancy so students know how to apply their thinking.
Understanding how to use these tools is very important, each lesson in
Educational Technology was designed for you to “think and apply” “in
a particular way concerning your area of study.”

Prof Jackson and Students

The Educational Technology and Social Media course is project based
and develops thought leadership and critical and higher order thinking
that students will need as they begin their new careers. Our society is
a knowledge based society. There is a need for the skills of acquiring
information, applying information and understanding the relevancy of
information. Students need to understand the application of applying
knowledge, especially to career choices and learning situations.

Blogging is not dead as some people imply. It is transforming to embrace
a digital lifestyle. The growing social engagements that allow for direct
communication, local  connections that allow for community activism,
mobile ability to communicate on the move and community interaction
that brings people closer together and allows for diversity to unite instead
of divide people.

If students are not taught the power of blogging, building digital platforms
and growing into digital innovators, the ability to be authentic storytellers
could be lost, their voices could be drowned in the commercial manipulation
of media and our diverse cultures could be lost in the overall digital Matrix.

The power of blogging strong when words define a Blog, words create a
Niche and word are characteristically adaptable to all situations and
circumstances for communication. Sharing stories was once only done
by storyteller, blogging is now the storyteller format for digital
communication and allows anyone, everywhere, from all walks of life to
have a voice and bring a voice to the voiceless.

Blogging is not dead, nor will it ever die, it will adapt, re-invent itself and
even become scalable to new tools and platforms to share information
that is transformational and empowering.
