=**Step 1: For standard two, 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--a-Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. Artifact 1: Use Inspiration to create story maps for various stories and to create a flow chart showing what students know about where they live (city, state, country, continent, earth) and use Clip Art and Inspiration to create webs for things the students are thankful for.

Artifact 2: Use Google Maps to assist in our study of addresses, and use Wordles to create a project at the end of the school year showing things they remember about first grade.

=**Step 2: For standard two, 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-Customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.

Goal: To differentiate learning activites using digital tools and using Marzano's Classroom Instruction That Works as a resource.

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

Reflection: This is something that will be on-going. Differentiation is something that I do on a regular basis, although I would like to continue to find more ways to use digital tools. While working with my guided reading reading groups I have had some of my groups create story maps using Inspiration. One of the groups is now quite independent with this.
