A School that Skippers Love

1 Comment 03 May 2010

Every church offers classes of some sort.  Whether it be membership classes, discipleship classes, volunteer classes, or whatever, education, training and knowledge transfer is a key component for any church.

Getting people to attend classes these days can be a challenge.  People tend to skip them because education on the whole is changing along with the rest of our society.  The bottom line is that people don’t really want to have to come to a physical class to learn things anymore.  Our society is very mobile and fluid these days.  People’s schedules are busy and they are used to having quality content of interest available to them whenever they have time to fit it in.  The reality is that they want to access things like classes at home, online, on the go, or whenever they want.  This could be a real problem for most churches but thankfully the good folks over at SuperCoolSchool.com have a great solution.

Now with SuperCoolSchool.com, you can start your own online school almost instantly and effortlessly.  SuperCoolSchool.com allows you to start and create a new school in under 60 seconds.   Once you get it up and running, you can use their products to stream live video teaching to your studnets.  The site uses some Adobe technology which also allows the students to interact with the teacher via text or video chat.

What really makes this service shine is the fact that while you’re teaching your live class with your students everything is being recorded. Once you finish the class, others can come and watch the entire thing, including all the interactions with the others students.  So, in effect, you’re teaching it live but also creating a copy for future students as well.

We can imagine churches using this service like crazy!  We can imagine churches is using this to offer all sorts of classes.  The sky is the limit!

You can check out it all out at http://www.supercoolschool.com.  (You  can check out a few example schools here.)

I've been a senior pastor for over twenty years and a techie for longer than that. My first computer was a TRS-80. How's that for tech cred? You can follow me on twitter at @tonymccollum.
