 * Preparing for the Capstone Portfolio Course**

Because the capstone builds on material from each of your courses it is essential that you begin collecting and saving these materials now. You should have already created an organizational system in your first IT master’s course that you will use throughout the program to gather artifacts and data for your capstone project. Remember to keep multiple copies of your work and use various means to save and back up your work. *The Teacher Education department and faculty are not responsible for keeping a copy of your work.

You will be creating the web page/portfolio template to be used for your capstone in the Web Development course. But it is important to begin collecting and saving your work now from every course.

Some of the items from every course that will be used for the Capstone portfolio include:
 * Artifacts (course projects and/or assignments)
 * Annotated bibliography (details the research/resources used or discovered)
 * Research reflection (250 words)
 * reflect on two or three “lessons learned” from the research
 * reflect on how this new knowledge impacted your teaching practice; how did you apply the research into your practice; how did it make you a better teacher

Standards and Skills (list the NETS standards and 21st Century skills that are most represented by your selected artifact(s). Include a brief reflection on how the artifact(s) represents the selected standards and skills.)
 * For the portfolio you will also be asked to include:**

This piece can be completed during each course or you can choose to create this piece in the final Capstone course.
