=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: Students used Starfall to create a January calendar for themselves.

Artifact 2: I used a flip video camera to film students during our Community Helper's unit.

=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 student's diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources. Goal: I will take time to plan language arts computer games and activities for the varied groups of learners that I have.

=**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 found that doing a video is a bit more work than I had expected. It took more time than I thought it would. The end result is cool so I will do it again. I could have done more with planning computer games but did more than I ever have so I am moving in the right direction. I also am excited because I just returned from NCEA and went to several sessions on "digital babies". I have new sites to explore for use. Early Childhood is an area that is sometimes overlooked, but NCEA had a lot to offer.
