=**Step 1: For standard four, 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: 4b-Address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources.

Artifact 1: My kindergarteners are using Word and PowerPoint to create alphabet books in Spanish. As they have become more comfortable with the laptops the children are able to do more with their alphabet pages. The children began copying and pasting pictures. Now they are adding words, changing the font size, saving to flash drives.

Artifact 2: I have used iMovie to create videos to help a few of my low students work on blending syllables to form words. The children are able to take these iMovies (burned to iDVD) home and practice at home. This makes it easier for the children to receive help at home with the language barrier with instruction given in Spanish while the students speak English at home.

=**Step 2: For standard four, 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: 4d-Develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools.

Goal: DE Streaming has some wonderful resources and I need to incorporate more videos into my instruction. Videos are a great way for my kindergarteners to understand some of the Hispanis celebrations we learn about throughout the year. Some of these celebrations are difficult to understand and videos would help with the children's understanding.

=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 would like to incorporate more videos into my instruction. This is a good goal and I have used a few videos, but could do better with this goal.
