Action Plan


EMDT Certificate Action Plan for Certificate Student Capstone (CSC) Project
October 2011
Goal/End Product: Identify the media-based product or technology-based solution you will create during the next three months.
 
Target Audience:  Who will be viewing or using your product? How will this effect your decisions?  
 
Experts or test group:  Identify who your expert reviewers or test group will be.
 
Purpose:  What is the overall goal of your project?
 
Objectives: Your objectives must be measurable.  Use Bloom’s Taxonomy to help establish behavioral objectives.
 
Materials:  Determine what you will need to reach your goals.  This list may need revisions as you move through each month.
 
Procedure and Timeline:  What are the steps needed to accomplish your goals and what are the deadlines you must set for yourself? Choose a collaborative tool to create and share your milestones and timeline.  You will post a link on your blog.
 
Resources:  Please keep a running list of the resources you gather and use through the process.

Reflection:  Create a product (your choice) to reflect on the entire process.  Ask yourself:
What did you learn in terms of content and skills?
What would you do differently if you could start at the beginning and repeat the process?
Where will this take you in the future?
