Teachers: ===


 * < a. ||< design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. ||
 * < b. ||< develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress. ||
 * < c. ||< customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources. ||
 * < d. ||< provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching. ||

=**Step 1: For standard two, 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. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. Artifact 1: Find appropriate math games on www. primarygames.com and have students begin using them.

Artifact 2: Explore the math games that are available on the computer in centers and teach them to students.

=**Step 2: For standard two, 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. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources. Goal: I will have a willingness to learn the digital tools and resources that will allow this to happen in a first and second grade classroom.

=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 have had one of my math groups using the computer lab once a week to utilize the math games on-line after I have introduced the game to them. They are enjoying this time which has been allowing them to practice math facts and telling time in a fun way. I will continue to seek out new games at this site that will fit the current unit of study.

It was interesting for me to see on April 22 the number of projects that were created for a first - third grade classroom. I will continue to explore the possibilities for my own classroom.
