=****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 think this was a strong area of improvement this year. I found multiple opportunities to connect with students beyond writing comments on their work. For example, animoto.com has a comments feature that allowed me to post a response to student work. Other students could see the my feedback and their feedback took on a more academic nature.
