2. The ISTE materials describe 7 specific areas that each contain performance indicators. As you reflect on your developing technological literacy as a preservice teacher, please do so separately for each area. There are multiple indicators for each of the areas. In your narrative for each area please respond to each indicator, and describe your process of working to meet each standard.

3. Throughout each of the 7 areas, you are asked to furnish as many exhibits or artifacts as possible that provide evidence of your work to meet the standards. For this evaluation you are asked to provide a link either within your narratives, or on the additional line at the bottom of each area. For those exhibits not possible to post online (because of privacy issues), simply provide a careful description in your narrative of these exhibits.
