**My Reflection on meeting this standard (So What?)**
//This standard in my opinion is the most important of all for us to meet regularly. We must be away of how what we do in our new digital age affects those around us. Each of the above artifacts in some way shows how we strive to keep the digital world safe and open for all to use. It is important for all to have access to the internet and its tools. In the review of internet access it is clear we have not yet made it to the equal playing field we are all looking for, but in time this should be our goal. It is clear from the discussion forum view that the safety and privacy of all is important to those in the education field. Though technology is growing our knowledge about it seems to be at a stand still. As teachers we strive to move this in a positive direction first beginning with proper etiquette and then creating a greater understanding of our society in the digital age.//

My Future Learning Goals related to this standard (Now What?)
//Now my goals it to be the ultimate role model for my tutees. Teaching everyone I work with the importance of proper use. I must also being willing to change with the times and adapt to what changes may happen in technology and society. I will look for opportunities to enhance learning using technology in a positive manner.//
