**Project Title:** Go-to-Meeting for Catechists on the topic of Liturgical and Personal Prayer

**Project:** For many years, I have been asked by the Catechists to give Catechist Certification Classes on the web. I am attempting to do this through this project. I will present a Go-to-Meeting Webinar on the topic: Liturgical and Personal Prayer. I will offer this course for those who are unable to attend the regular class due to time constraints, family needs and work requirements.

**Relevance to Ministry:** This is a vital part of the Faith formation program because the Catechists are not able to teach what they do not know. The class will also introduce the use of Web 2.0 technology in the classroom.

**References to supporting resources:** I have read the article: __A Webinar Organizer's Checklist__ by Ken Molay and viewed the folllowing on You Tube:
 * Top ten steps to Running a Knockout Webinar: Koichi C. and Brad K.
 * How to use Go To Meeting Tutorial by Web Conference Trial.com
 * GoToMeeting On Line Training and elearning: Basics of GoToMeeting
 * GoToMeetingTurorial
 * How to Create Great Webinars - Slide Development
 * How to Create Webinar Presentations with Powerpoint


 * Social dimension of your project:** I will be using the following
 * Word Press to prepare the group for the presentation
 * Wikispaces for homework
 * Vimeo for those who missed the presentation or who wish to review the presentation
 * Use of telephones during prayer to text a loved one.


 * Project Goals and Objectives:**
 * Goal:** To provide an alternative method of class presentation for the Catechists so that:

a. the Catechist's life might be touched and changed, his/her knowledge of the faith be enhanced, and his/her heart be moved to grow in love with God at a deeper level. b. more catechists will participate in the Catechist Certification Process for the Diocese of St. Augustine


 * Audience Description:** The members of the projected audience are the Catechists at Queen of Peace Parish, Gainesville, Florida. The majority of these catechists are aware of and use social media such as facebook and twitter. A questionnare will be utilized to ascertain the knowlege of the group with all the various material I will be using.
