=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 the students are getting the idea that copyright and documentation is important. They have a tendency to point out now whenever they cite something so I know they are doing it which always makes me laugh, but is good to see because that tells me they are listening! I make them cite everything they do which makes me hope that they realize how important I feel it is. We also did research on the penalties and what it means to be a good digital citizen. I haven't accomplished much in the way of communicating with other schools and cultures. I have done some research to get ideas but haven't implemented anything. This is definitely something I need to work on which means I need to move it to a higher priority on my list.
