I actually first looked at An Truong’s capstone website, “Training with Technology,” among first getting started in this Master’s program, when I had absolutely no idea where I wanted to go with my research. Mr. Truong lays out his journey in a very effective and digestible way within his website. The audience for his capstone appears to be other physical education teachers looking for ways to incorporate tech into PE, insight into tech’s impact on fitness goals, and/or strategies for motivating students in the PE classroom. In addition detailing specific ways of incorporating tech into his PE lessons for the purpose of his research, he shares resources which were effective for him and his students, such as Kahoot, Quizizz, Adobe Spark, Google Forms, Eductopia.
The other capstone websites I explored also seemed geared towards an audience of teachers. When I think ahead to my capstone, the debate becomes whether I want my audience to be PE teachers or students. I think I could make it in a way which could benefit students, but the question then becomes, does anyone create their capstone websites designed for an audience of students? When would students be exposed to and actually utilize the capstone website? The four capstones which I explored were filled with useful information for teachers such as teaching strategies, lesson plans and content standards, so I did not feel like they were intended for students to directly see.

Yes Dustin, I agree that Training with Technology and ultimately your own very cool capstone will not be for students per se. In a way, and unexpectedly, now that I have looked carefully at several websites, I think they may be for you and me, the Cohort - up and comers in the Innovative field. They are a way to get motivated and to learn from.

Thinking that teachers and the wonderful people at Napa Learns would be our audience. I wrote that first sentence and am still pondering your question. What WOULD happen if a Capstone was aimed at student consumption?
