Artifact 1: Students created a wordle describing personal characteristics of themselves after writing their personal narrative. Later we shared them with peers and Ravenwood friends.

Artifact 2: After starting a KWL chart on the SmartBoard about the Titanic, students researched information that they wanted to learn more about. Then they put the information that they learned into a Keynote presentation.

=**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: a- promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness

Goal: I need to take more initiative in promoting creative thinking. During our Unit meetings, I will share new ideas and encourage others to do the same.

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

Reflection: During Unit meetings and at lunch, I did share some different websites and ideas that I learned about at TCL with my co-workers. One of our favorites is the animoto site used to make short videos. Another one of our favorite sites is wordle. The students love to use it also!
