Neil's Computer Lab Notes

This is an ARCHIVED PAGE which is no longer updated.

Need more help?  Go to Sunday Software's Old & New Testament Story 2 Software reference. Look up your story and see what we suggest to teach it with. In some cases my OT 2 NT reference is more complete than the WeBelieve listing on this page.

May 2007 Notes: Thanks to the WeBelieve writers for updating me on their scope & sequence.  Additional lesson suggestions for how to use these CDs are to be found in EACH CD's Teaching Tip documents, provided here at sundaysoftware.com for free.

Please note: Some of these titles may be out of print (most are still in print). However, I continue to list them here because many of our customers still have them in their libraries. For example, almost all of the Interactive Kids CDs are out of print, but a lot of Presbyterian churches own copies of them.

Email Neil MacQueen

Use Let's Talk CD to create talking presentations, mini-quizzes and talking discussion questions.
Kids create them, or the teacher can make them.

Year Two:	Neil's Recommended Software
Creation	Awesome Bibles Stories -- it's full treatment of the Creation story.
David, as a Boy	Life of David from the Interactive Kids Series. See also my David-Daniel lesson suggestions at www.sundaysoftware.com/danieldavid.htm
Advent: The Angels	Fluffy and God's Amazing Christmas Adventure hits this one on the head.
Jesus' Big Words	?? Not sure what they mean.
Feeding 5000	Life & Ministry of Jesus from Kids Interactive Series, plus Life of Christ CD also covers this. I suggest flipping between both.
And One Said, "Thank You!"	See the complete computer lab lesson I wrote for this story at www.rotation.org in the Lesson Exchange. Lots of other lesson ideas there too. I'm suggesting Let's Talk CD for this story.
Palm Sunday	See my Lent-HolyWeek lesson ideas at www.sundaysoftware.com/lent.htm I include several Palm Sunday suggestions, including using Life of Christ CD.
Women at the Tomb	See note above about Holy Week software suggestions.
The Great Commission	This is a classic memory verse. Use Cal and Marty's Scripture Memory Game CD
Year Three
Joseph	Joseph's Story CD.
Young Moses and the women who cared for him	Exodus Adventures CD mentions Baby Moses, and includes Miriam. It's main objective, however, is to teach the overall scope and sequence of the story.
Jonah	Elijah & Jonah CD. We give Jonah the full treatment!
Advent: Mary’s Story	Fluffy and God's Amazing Christmas Adventure includes Mary & Elizabeth, and a very interesting "mad-lib"-like interactive activity on Mary's Song.
Boy Jesus at the Temple	Tough...not much. You could use Let's Talk CD to recreate/imagine the dialog between Jesus and his teachers, and Jesus' parents (kids will know EXACTLY how a parent might have responded!
Lord’s Prayer	One of the four lessons in Galilee Flyer --which has a bunch of background on the prayer played through as you fly. Could also use Cal & Marty's Scripture Memory Game.
Great Banquet	Nothing specific in software at this time. Possibly a story to use Kid Pix ...create 'invitations/posters to Jesus' banquet'.
Peter’s Denial	Life of Christ CD has a bit. Can use Let's Talk CD to recreate the dialog in this scene. What could Peter have said and done differently? Plus, use Let's Talk to say aloud "other words people today use to "deny" Christ."
Easter Symbolism	? See my Holy Week webpage for more lesson suggestions.
Philip & the Ethiopian	What exactly WAS the good news to the Ethiopian?  What do you suppose the Ethiopian said when he got back to Ethiopia? What questions would have been asked of him by his people? Give voice to these in Let's Talk CD or Kid Pix.
Lydia	Acts 16:11–15, 40. What was it that Lydia was hearing? What could Paul have said to her that would have converted her? Give voice to these in Let's Talk CD or Kid Pix.
Year Four: (for 2008-09)
Samuel	An overview? Which story?
Ruth & Naomi	I enjoy teaching 'whither thou goest..." as a memory verse.  Cal & Marty's Scripture Memory Game CD.
Advent: Christmas Around the World	AARGGG. Sounds like a Women's Association Xmas Luncheon Theme.
Jesus’ Baptism	Life of Christ CD. Plus, use Let's Talk CD to come up with different words God could have used to let people know how he felt about Jesus. Our new JESUS IN SPACE CD covers this.
The Good Samaritan	Good Sam the Samaritan
Sermon on the Mount	"Famous Saying from the Sermon on the Mount" is one of the four lessons in Galilee Flyer. It includes a good long video clip showing the actual mount area and discussing the scene.

Jesus in the Wilderness	Footsteps of Jesus and Life of Christ both do this story.
Call of Disciples	How would you call a Construction person or Nurse?  Use the talk aloud features in Let's Talk and Kid Pix to express these ideas.

Prayer in the Garden	Life of Christ.
