=**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: 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.

Artifact 1: Students read the book Out Of Dust. I then had the students research various topics of the depression, dust bowl, Franklin Roosevelt on the internet using World book and Google.

Artifact 2: The students then used the information from Artifact 1 to create a power point slides and after those were completed they put them all together to make one power point to use to present their information.

=**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: b. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources. Goal: To try to come up with more final projects where the students prepare presentations on the computer verses just typing up something and handing it in.

=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 really wanted to use the Glogster site for a book report, but I didn't get it done. I was pleased with how the students worked on the power points over the dust bowl.
