=**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: For our school's Day of the Dead celebration, I created a powerpoint Jeopardy game for the different groups to use as a review.

Artifact 2: I have had the students type their papers and reports on the computer first, before proofreading, to help when they have to go back and edit and print the final copy.

=**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: Goal: I would like to create project options for my fourth and fifth graders in their respective language arts units that allows them to pick something that they are interested in.

 * < b. ||< develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress. ||

=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 was able to do this for the fifth graders - because I felt the need for more differentiation in 5th grade than in 4th - so I made it a priority.
