=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 feel like I am still doing well with my strongest suit. The kids blog weekly and I see improvement in their responses. We are learning more and more about how to effectively use Google docs in the classroom. I still need to work on virtual environments. I don't really feel like I made much progress with that this year. I am going to really explore that over the summer and get some things together to use in the fall.
