As we look back over the past several weeks, you are invited to share three things you are grateful for. Please type these in the Chat Window.


God of all blessings, source of all life, giver of all grace: We thank you for the mystery of creation, for the beauty that the eye can see, for the joy that the ear may hear, for the unknown that we cannot behold, filling the universe with wonder; for the expanse of space that draws us beyond the definitions of our selves. For these, and all blessings, we give you thanks, eternal, loving God, through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. Read more: http://www.beliefnet.com/Prayers/Christian/Gratitude/Prayer-Of-

• What is a Capstone Project?

• Explain the three phases of the capstone project.

• Review the rubric with participants.

• Brainstorm projects for a parish, school, or adult setting.

• Identify relevant research about technology and

learning, especially as applied to faith settings.


As found on Wikipedia, a capstone is literally, “one of the finishing or protective stones that form the top of an exterior masonry wall or building.”


For DDBC… it’s an opportunity • to apply what you have learned (from many different areas)

• to create a final project that shows how you are integrating technology in your ministry

It will be…

• your “crowning achievement, point, element, or event.”

• “the final stroke; the culmination or acme”

Include reference to relevant research about technology and learning, especially as applied to faith settings, if appropriate.
