**Steps of the Process**
Follow the steps below to ensure your successful completion of your Midpoint Assessment:

**1.** **Get the documents.**
Download and save the three midpoint documents. Rename the files, replacing "xyz" with your 3 initials. Use the guidelines in the 3rd column to help you decide how much to complete.

(Click to download.) || **Amount You Should Complete at Midpoint** || **Estimated Time to Complete** (varies) || **Example** (by K Huett, EdS-IT) ||
 * **Document Title** || **Downloadable File**
 * **Dispositions Rubric** || [[file:mid_disposition_xyz.doc]] || 100% complete; you can update any changes that occur during the 2nd half of the program when you complete your Final Portfolio || 10 min - 1 hr || [[file:mid_disposition_kch.doc]] ||
 * **Field Experience/Impact Log** || [[file:mid_fieldexp_xyz.doc]] || 2-3 solid project examples || 30 min - 2 hrs || [[file:mid_fieldexp_kch.doc]] ||
 * **Standards and Conceptual Framework Chart** || [[file:mid_standards_xyz.doc]] || 50% or more || 2 hrs - 10 hrs || [[file:mid_standards_kch.doc]] ||

**2. Watch 2 informative videos to learn how to complete the process.**

 * **Topic** || **Link** ||
 * ** An EdS-IT Student's Gives an Overview of the Proces s** || Video: Overview of Document Creation and Linking Process ||
 * ** Zipping Versus Hyperlinking: choosing an approach for your Field Experience and Standards Chart ** || Video: Zipped Versus Hyperlinking Video ||

**3. Fill out your documents**.
Using the video overview above, and provided examples, complete your Midpoint Assessment documents. You may find it helpful to read over another EdS student's [|Tips & Lessons Learned]; and her [|Comprehensive List of Courses and Projects] may be an organizational tool you'll want to emulate as you work on your documents.

**4. Upload your documents.**
Upload the midpoint documents to your UWG webspace. Use the **Video: Uploading Your Files to the Student Server** for help completing this process. There are additional text-based tutorials in the //Tutorials// section below.

**5. Link to your documents.**
You will not be using this wiki as a site for submitting your EdS IT Midpoint Assessment (see example of a submission at this link). A new site in CourseDen has been created where you need to upload your work. Please contact the EdS IT Program Coordinator for more information.

**6. Look ahead.**
Finally, as you finish up the second half of this program, keep in mind that you will be updating these documents and re-submitting them as a part of your exit assessments (Final Portfolio). Be thinking of ways you can add to these documents, and feel free to visit the IT EdS Exit Page to learn more about what will be expected.
