=**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: I have been trying to incorporate the use of the Mimeo into my plans, specifically in the area of Math. the children enjoy using it. While one student is working on the problem, I have the rest of the children writing their answers on small markerboards. This seems to keep them all on task and attentive.

Artifact 2: I have had some of my guided reading groups use the program Inspiration to work an a story map on a book that we read in class. In Social Studies we have worked on address so I had the entire class use the drawing tools in Appleworks to make a picture of their house and include their address. The latest project was to make a flowchart using Inspiration to show where they live (neighborhood-town-state-country-continent-world) They also needed to include clipart pictures to go along with each term.

=**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: c-promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information. Goal: At this point, I will help my first graders understand the importance of handling the laptops with care. Since they also share the laptops with other students I will help them to understand the importance of never going into another student's documents.

=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 try to make sure hands are clean before taking out the laptops. I have talked to my class about the proper way to take the laptops out of the cart and to put them back in. They must have their shoes tied before walking with their laptops back to their desks. They have been instructed to be gentle when pressing the keys. They have been taught how to find their own document and to open it. At this point there have not been any issues with them trying to open up another student's document.
