These elements may change as you continue to develop your ideas for your project, so the purpose of this brainstorming is to begin to plan your Capstone Project.


 * Questions:**


 * 1) Briefly describe your proposed project.**
 * //By using online tools to construct a project through the use of an online notebook. The GoGreen Project mission is to bring awareness how not to be wasteful in our society using online tools and social media.//

 * //Through guidance and support in the use of online tools to research, compile, and discuss the key elements of the GoGreen project.//
 * 4) How will you create sound instructional materials and learning environments that are based on solid research and learning theory?**
 * //Any materials that are used will be required to have some research based documentation, along with citations when appropriate.//
 * 5) How will you facilitate the use of innovations through the diffusion and integration of new technologies and technological experiences for your learners?**
 * //Students are constantly encouraged to find and utilize other resources out there. If they use items beyond the requirements, they can earn extra credit. They may also earn even more points if they create a user guide and/or demonstrate how to use.//
 * 6) How will you most effectively manage this process?**
 * //By monitoring discussions, providing extra help if needed. Will have an established Q/A page along with a Technology Resources page.//
