Hello Yall,
I think Powerpoint is great. Video and sound effects are great. Problem is
not everybody has fast connection. Us guys in Russia have 33000 at the best.
For them many of such materials will be hard to access. So I am for the
balance. Or make 2 versions, presentation and economy version. So everybody
could benefit.
Suggestion on themes.
--Patrol spirit. How to organize patrol in simple steps. I know, there were
excellent posts in Rangernet about it. A#1 got excellent materials. But not
everybody got it all. And if we try to organize it a little better ... Why
Knot?
--How to do camps. Do we need'em? What to do in them. Schedule... You know,
You just started your outpost and have no clue what to do. That kind of
thing.
--Boys-girls relationships. Sex items. How to do them. How to solve
problems... (Oh, that might be too hard. Too contraversial, especially with
America - East difference. But may be you can find guys wise man who can try
do it in balance)
--Good Games. Camping games. If we have Devotions theme in here, why not
have games? Maybe make it kinda like message board, where everybody can
throw a game, make additions, versions, corrections to other... Maybe good
idea to make a message board for devotions too.
No more ideas right now
My 2 cents for this great conference

Subject: [RR] Re: [r] objectives and goals
>Here's my thoughts...
>
>1. Why are we doing this?
>
>Why do we do any of this? - To reach, teach, and keep boys for Jesus
Christ!
> As for the RRCTC, I see several motivations for it. This training
>conference should help equip our leaders to teach & train other leaders and
>boys. We are in a unique position to assemble the best and most exciting
>training materials possible. We are also able to bring together some of
the
>best trainers in the world. Try to envision the best trainers and the best
>training material all available for FREE to leaders throughout the world.
>
>Why are we doing this? ... Simply put, to rekindle the fire in Royal Ranger
>leaders and and boys by giving them high quality, exciting training
>materials.
>
>The result of our labors is seeing men and boys excited about the Royal
>Ranger ministry and spreading the word of God. People being saved and lifes
>changed!
>
>***********
>
>2. Who is this training being aimed at?
>
>The training is aimed at the commander and the boys. Yes, we want to get
>the commanders excited, but we also want to give them something that they
>can give to their boys. Many of the topics will deal with being a
>commander, but I feel that we need to include some classes that will teach
>some basic skills to the boys. How about a multimedia presentation on how
>to throw a hawk with real video footage and computer animation? How about
a
>multimedia presentation of basic first aid?
>
>Don't forget the pastors! Many pastors monitor rangernet and visit
>rangernet sites. Are there some things they need to be taught about
>Rangers?
>
>***********
>
>3. What format should the training materials take?
>
>The training materials need to be exciting and portable.
>
>If you want a lecture on how to build a tepee, you can go to the bookstore
>and get a book or find a web page with instructions and read it.
>
>We need to be different!
>
>If I bring a computer into my Ranger classroom and show a powerpoint
>presentation with some pictures and text, the boys are going to pay a
little
>more attention. If I add some sound effects, video, or animated gifs ---
>the attention level goes up even more. If I add a sound clip of someone
>else speaking and teaching the lesson .... I have their UNDIVIDED
attention.
>
>How can all this be accomplished?
>
>Microsoft Powerpoint is an excellent program for training presentations. It
>gives you the ability to include sound and video. There is a free viewer
>available that will allow anybody to view the presentations. It also has a
>built-in function to publish presentations to the web.
>
>I would suggest that all presentations be in powerpoint or some other
>multimedia program that can be taken from the internet and ran in a
>classroom elsewhere.
>
>****************
>
>4. Who will hold the copywrite on the materials?
>
>I like the idea of taking the materials I write and offering them for sale
>to other commanders. The idea of earning extra income from these courses
is
>appealing to me. UNTIL --- I think of that one commander or church that
>will not be able to use the materials because they can't afford them.
>
>I don't want the copywrite on the courses I write for this conference or
the
>devotions that I write. They are a gift from God and I give them back to
>Him. I want Ranger leaders to use them freely and share them freely! (If
>at some time in the future I offer my material in a CD or book form, I will
>claim copyrite on it in that form.) The materials would still be free.
>
>As for me, the materials that I generate for this conference will be
offered
>freely for Royal Ranger use as long as they are not sold or used as part of
>a conference that someone is paying to attend.
>
>**********
>
>5. Will we allow the materials to be used elsewhere?
>
>As said above, the only restrictions on my material is that it not be sold
>or used in a paying event. Emails saying they were used are appreciated.
