=**Step 1: For standard three, 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: c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. Artifact 1: Letters sent home concerning assignments (for TCL project and others), events, etc. are translated into Spanish using 'Dashboard' and then further refined by Sister Jeanne.

Artifact 2: I use e-mail with attachments to the local newspaper, or articles are put in the drop box of the tech person for publication of student projects.

=**Step 2: For standard three, 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: My least strongest is "d", but I can't come up with a goal for that. So I'll use "a" instead. a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. Goal: I'll use a flashdrive to transfer work from home computer to school computer and step up the use of photos from a digital camera.

=Step 3: On the final TCL day, reflect on each standard and goal you set for yourself. How did you do and why?=

Reflection: Currently I have been using the translation tool on dashboard to translate my letters into Spanish. I'm sure there must be a website that would allow me to do this more efficiently. I meant to ask at the last class if anyone had any suggestions. I will ask in my own building.

I'd really like to do more with photos from a digital camera. I just get so involved in the teaching that I forget to take pictures. I need to train myself. The children do enjoy seeing themselves at work in pictures.
