=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: b. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources. Artifact 1: Students in my class use Starfall on a daily basis during language art centers and Daily Five. This is a site that is suitable for all learners.

Artifact 2: I often use sites that were given to me at a toolbox session last year. The presenter was Lisa Newgard. These are valid sites that are appropriate for young learners.

=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:d. 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: I will try to find a class to Skype. I could ask parents in my class if they have suggestions.

=**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 did not do very well in this area. I will set it as a goal for 2010-2011.
