As I sit here and think of creating a prototype for my capstone project, I have so many ideas that I overwhelm myself. (If that makes any sense?!) There are times when I feel like I know exactly what I want to do and what I want to include in my capstone project, but then there are other times when I feel I am completely confused about what I am doing and how to make it all come together. That being said, for my capstone, I want to create a website that will serve as a tool kit for teachers who want to learn more about a reading curriculum that effectively includes guided reading. I will be introducing my driving question along with providing language arts data that shows state and local data; as well as my own data from my research last trimester. I will also review the research that shows guided reading is beneficial for students. I would like to link a video of a guided reading lesson using the program A Flying Start to Literacy. I would also add a link to different lesson plans, possibly one with a screen cast explaining the different parts of the lesson plan. The OKAPI website would also be linked along with other websites that I find. I know I will also be including a survey for teachers as to their thoughts on the effectiveness of the program and possibly another one on how useful the website was for them.
Like I mentioned before, I feel like I have many ideas; yet, I am having a difficult time creating a table of contents. I think I just need to take a break and try again.

I think you are further along than you think you are! You have so many great ideas here. Is your target audience new teachers who are looking for effective strategies for reading instruction, or maybe RTI coordinators evaluating curriculum for their next purchase? Or both? I think as you keep in mind the person who will access your toolkit, it will be easier to imagine how they will find the information they are looking for.
