This post is a terrific example of why I support the Common Core Standards. Collaboration is, without a doubt, a 21st century skill that is critical for us to make sure we're including in K-12 education. The fact that it is woven into the Common Core is HUGE! If you are not following @betamiller (or @edutopia, where he also blogs) on twitter, you should be.

This presentation from ISTE was an awesome look at how to meet CCSS using collaborative writing.

A veritable cornucopia of CCSS resources and information. Bay Shore High School also offers up a model of how a simple wikispaces wiki can make school-wide collaboration a snap.

Check out these global collaborative projects shared through iEARN that align to the Common Core.

Check out this site, created by Ben Rimes (@techsavvyed). A collaborative poetry writing project. Tied to the Common Core! Click on "Teaching Standards" to see how.

Twitter can be a great resource for educators working on the Common Core. This article reviews a recent #teaching2030 chat (an awesome chat to follow). The topic was the CCSS. Using social media to connect and collaborate as we move forward toward full implementation is a great idea. Please follow and use the #CCchat hashtag for even more Common Core resources.

This site, from the Elk Grove (CA) Unified School District, looks like an exemplary resource. Also demonstrates what I think national standards should be all about--sharing, collaborating, and publicly displaying our work. This site is worth a look.

In this great post, the author shares ideas from a webinar produced by an education department in Maine. It includes some great ideas about integrating social media, and ties it to the common core. Twitter, blogs, and more!
