Technology Tools and the Common Core

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) include basic technology skills to help students succeed; but located throughout the standards is an understanding for students to use technology to help them learn in all areas. Whether it is using tools to solve math problems, to access information, or to promote literacy and communication skills; technology is part of the learning solution. Technology is an integral part in supporting these Standards. This interactive course will instruct participants on ways to integrate technology in classrooms with clear linkages to the Common Core Standards. Participants in this course will also collaborate to find pathways to digital age teaching and learning as they unpack the Common Core to discover the connections between these new standards and opportunities to redefine instruction .This course aligns with 21st century curriculum requirements and integrates new and relevant technologies that support high order thinking skills as well as providing resources that support technology integration.
