=Step 1: For standard four, select the indicator that is your strongest suit for the standard and give two examples (artifacts) of why you selected it as your strongest suit.= Indicator selected: a-advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources. Artifact 1: I model ethical use everyday in my classroom. When I have powerpoints, presentations, or other media to share with my students, everything is properly sited or used from a free site.

Artifact 2: My students do a research paper, and we go through how to properly use photos from the internet. We learn how to properly site these photos, and we look at sites where the photos are free for school use. We also learn how to research properly on the internet. We learn how to take notes, and about plagiarism. My students finally learned how to site a bibliography for their work. We talk about steeling is not allowed even if you can copy and paste!

=Step 2: For standard four, select the indicator that is your "least strongest" suit for the standard and write a professional goal of how you are going to increase your competency with the goal this year.= Indicator selected: d-develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools. Goal: I would like to set up a Skype time with my friend I met in China (Maple).

=**Step 3: On the final TCL day, reflect on each standard and goal you set for yourself. How did you do and why?**=

Reflection: I was able to contact Maple. We got each other's skype information, but were unable to set up a time to get together with my students to talk because of the time difference and schedule. I will work again next year to reach this goal.
