Reflection
The first standard discuss how teachers use their knowledge to increase student learning in technology, enhance creative skills, and encourage new innovations. This standard requires that each teacher has technology skills. The Google Slide and Google Doc artifacts were selected because they engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving problems using digital tools and resources. The Google Slide also enabled students to use collaborative tools for thinking, planning, and creativeness. The Thinklink and Forum artifacts were selected because they both enhance critical thinking skills, engaging learners by use of virtual environments. The digital storyboard artifacts is an example of engagement through the use of digital tools.

Future Learning Goal
My future learning goals are to continue learning new technology so that I will be equipped to teach all learners. I think it is very important for all educators to continue to learn so that they can benefit others. The more knowledge the teacher obtains enables them to teach more and new technology to their students.
