**__ Capstone Project: //“Lectio Divina App”// __**

** Project Description: **

In the //CCD 2.0 (Catholic Catechism Domains)// initiative I have created and am implementing this year, //Lectio Divina// is part of the Prayer Domain. I have begun teaching this process/style of prayer to Grades 2-8, and the response is good. As a way to extend (and deepen) the experience, I am going to develop a digital library of //Lectio Divina// exercises that the students can access through an app I will create.

Given the app development process, I will implement this in two stages: First, I will publish the “tracks” (i.e., exercises) to my SoundCloud library so that they can be immediately accessed – and the November 29 deadline will be met. I will be simultaneously developing the app and submitting it to the iTunes Store. Hopefully, approval and publication will be given before November 29, but publication to the SoundCloud site and app will be sufficient for this project, if need be.

** Project Goals: **


 * Develop at least 10 //Lectio Divina// exercises that families from the parish and the Religious Education program can access online.
 * Deepen and extend the prayer experience in class for the students.
 * Help parents learn and experience //Lectio Divina// so they can share the experience with their children as well.
 * Expose the greater community in the parish to //Lectio Divina.//
 * Utilize technology to achieve the above goals.

** Audience: **

This project will be created for the students of the Religious Education program, but it will be open to and used by the entire parish – and anyone else who would be interested and search online for this type of prayer.

** Timeline: **


 * Develop exercises by October 23, 2016.
 * Complete recording of exercises by November 13, 2016
 * Submit app to AppStore by November 20, 2016
 * Upload tracks to SoundCloud November 20, 2016
 * Publish app when approval is given by Apple.

** Technology Tools: **


 * GarageBand • Adobe Xd
 * iTunes • iMovie (for adversiting on website)
 * SoundCloud • Twitter, FlockNotes, etc. (advertising)
 * XCode / Swift

** Budget: **

All of the above technologies are already owned and used regularly…

** Approval: **

The pastor’s approval has already been obtained.
