Capstone Project Model
 * Project Contact:** Sister Ann Regan
 * Project Title: Addressing Academic Integrity in Seconday School Theology Classes**

Second semester of the 2012 school year was exciting and challenging for the teachers at the Academy of the Holy Names. Each teacher was issued an iPad and all in-services were spent helping teachers understand how to use an iPad and how to teach with an iPad. There was one fear that most teachers shared; it was how to address, recognize and correct digital cheating. As a theology teacher and chair of the department, I looked at this as an opportunity to research digital citizenship and learn what others have done to address academic integrity. This information would be helpful to the teachers in the department. It also would be helpful to theology teachers in preparing curriculum units on academic integrity in the context of moral theology. My proposal would be to create a generic teaching unit applying the academic integrity concepts to Christian morality. Theology teachers then could modify the unit for their particular religion classes.

This project will impact theology teachers and students in the Holy Names Network of Schools in the US/Ontario province. It will be available to parents and students who use the Academy of the Holy Names school website and teachers who are active in the Holy Names Network of Schools
