= =


 * a. || demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. ||
 * b. || collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. ||
 * c. || communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. ||

=Step 1: For standard three, 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: c-collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. Artifact 1: I collaborate with my peers by blogging, email, and wikispaces. Each week, my staff and I read a section from Strategies That Work and communicate what we've read and learned through blogging. It is a great way to communicate since we don't all teach in the same building and see each other everyday.

Artifact 2: I communicate with my students digitally through Google Docs. This is a great way to interact with my student's writing. I am able to write comments, give advice, and help correct through Google Docs without printing! My students get their papers back at a relatively high turn around time. They are really enjoying the use of Google Docs.

=Step 2: For standard three, 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-
 * model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning. ||
 * Goal: My goal would be to use the information from the digital tools to support the research and learning.

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

Reflection: My strongest point is trying different technology tools in my classroom and knowing about them. I'm not sure if they support the research and learning, but I do try to incorporate different digital tools, model the use, and help colleagues with the use of digital tools. ||
