=**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 Artifact 1: We did research reports on presidents and they were taught about copyright laws and how to do a bibliography. They were taught how to paraphrase information that they found.

Artifact 2: We did powerpoints on the city of Dubuque and they researched information and cited the sources they used.

=**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: c Goal:I am going to share information on what to do if they get to a sight that is not appropriate. I will continue to stress each time about the proper etiquette and care of laptops, cameras, etc. when we use them each week.

=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 continue to stress the importance of care of laptops each time we use them as I am using them more without the tech coordinator being in the room reminding them. We just finished a unit on writing biographies and I needed to remind them each time about proper websites and what to do if they see something inappropriate. I need to remember to do this each time we are researching or working with the laptops.
