=**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: b. Engage students in exploring real-world issues. Artifact 1: Students accessed Online Resources and watched a DE streaming video for a virtual tour of the White House.

Artifact 2: Students accessed World Book Kids from the Online Resources and located an article and picture of the White House.

=**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: c. Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding, thinking, planning, and creative processes

Goal: I will keep an open mind about exploring ways this can apply to 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 like the use of DE streaming videos because it allows me to use an entire video or just a segment of it. I will explore this resource for other units in social studies and perhaps other areas, as well.
