=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: a-Promote, support and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. Artifact 1:Students are using Kid Pix to make a class alphabet book.

Artifact 2: Eight grade buddies introduced the kid pix program and then worked with their buddy to make a short slide show of buddy activities.

=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:model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments Goal: Use atomic learning to learn more about the programs available to students and work with our technology coordinator to purchase new programs if possible.

=**Step 3: On the final TCL day, reflect on each standard and goal you set for yourself. How did you do and why?**=

Reflection: We were able to purchase two new computer programs for the students to use. I also used atomic learning to troubleshoot when working with Kid Pix and to learn more about garage band and itunes.I would like to take a little more time to use atomic learning to find out about more programs.
