=**Step 1: For standard two, 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) design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.

Artifact 1: We use the mobile lab in the clasroom for keyboarding, First in Math, research, etc.

Artifact 2: I encourage students to be creative and use technology when researching for and presenting their animal reports in Science class.

=**Step 2: For standard two, 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: c) customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.

Goal: To give students the chance to help personalize and shape activities or assignments in class.

=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 feel I have continued to improve in this area. When working on novel discussions using Google Docs, I encourged the students to choose and write the discussion questions for their group's book. This gave them a sense of ownership within their group, and allowed them to focus on areas of the books that interested them.
