=**Step 1: For standard one, 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-Promote, support and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. Artifact 1: Students created a biography iMovie. I demonstrated how to create the biography. I offered suggestions of what kind of pictures to use in their movie. Students were able to use different pictures of the person's life to tell the biography.

Artifact 2: 4th grade students created a glogster about The Underground Railroad.

=**Step 2: For standard one, 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:Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.

Goal:Students will research real issues of the world. They will discuss the problem and offer a solution for the problem through a public service announcement. They will learn and use iMovie to create their announcements. =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 successful for in achieve indicator b. I taught the students how to create a public service announcement and the steps they would have to take to create it. The students created public service announcements and they were concerned with how they were going to present this problem and how they were going to influence others to make a change in their action. They used their creative talents to formulate their movie through images and video clips. I also discussed with the students how they could relate what they just learned and apply it to something they may do in the real-world.
