Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices. Teachers: a. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources. b. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources. c. promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information. d. develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools. Step 1: For standard four, 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: advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources. Artifact 1: Students are taught to document their sources when doing research. Artifact 2: Students use Soundazbound and Free Midi Songs when downloading music for one of their presentations. Step 2: For standard four, 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: address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources. Goal: This year will effectively use the First In Math program with my students. Keeping track of the use and proficiency of students. 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 kept better track of the student’s work on FirstinMath. The students were held accountable this year through tests to improve their math fact scores and all students did better on their tests. Problem continues to be that some students use FirstinMath at home but not all, and the ones that need it the most, are the ones usually who finish their work the last and have the least amount of time playing during school. Specific times had to be set so all students had time to use the program. Type in the content of your page here.
