This slideshow takes a look at the role technology can play in the implementation of the Common Core. Zooms in on some example standards and how they lend themselves to 21st century tools.

This is the kind of thinking that is going to have to take place as we look at the role of technology in the Common Core standards. I guess that I had always thought of Webquests as very "scavenger hunt-like," but this article proposes the opposite...arguing that they can be used to foster critical thinking, analysis, and synthesis skills. 

Great wiki with resources for integrating technology into your work with the CCSS.

Helpful post connecting CCSS with the NETS. Could go much further with this as a launching point. via @HPTeachExchange

A quote from the article..."Adult literacy in 2012 means being able to synthesize information from multiple online sources to write a blog post or substantive email. It means analyzing which online tools will best serve your communications purpose. It means making smart decisions about what information is useful online, and how to curate and filter the endless stream of data coming in. It means reviewing your digital footprint and learning how to take some control over what information you broadcast to the world, from your tweets, profile pictures, and recommended links. While the common core addresses some of the above skills, its guidance is far too vague, especially for those teachers who are uncomfortable with new technologies." So true.

This is a collection that's growing...it offers digital learning projects that are aligned to Math Common Core Standards. Great stuff from the National Science Digital Library.

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!

Interesting article about how to use Celly, an online text messaging service, in a way that aligns with the CCSS.

Great analysis here. Not only suggests tech tools, but quotes the standards to demonstrate their worthiness.
