Using WebQuests to Fulfill Common Core Expectations « Common Core « Critical ... - 1 views

  •  
    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.

    This is a site to watch. They are releasing a series of three papers this spring and they may very well help inform teachers how to create core-aligned, student-centered classrooms. If this is where the Common Core leads us...that's a good thing.

    If you choose "Common Core Standards" from the drop down menu, you'll find not only the standards, but also scads of lessons and activities tied to each standard. Very valuable, potentially.

Standards Correlations | Facing the Future - 0 views

    I learned about this site from Eric Sheninger's blog, A Principal's Reflections. It allows you to search Facing the Future's resources by Common Core State Standards. Great potential here when it comes to integrating global education into the Common Core.

Taking the #CommonCore to Twitter > The Future of Teaching - 0 views

  •  
    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.

    It's important to consider all viewpoints when looking at the CCSS. This article takes a critical look at the fact that, according to one survey, so many teachers feel "prepared," while other surveys indicate otherwise.

Moving at the Speed of Creativity - Common Core Implementation Guidelines for Leaders: ... - 0 views

  •  
    I appreciate the critical analysis Dr. Fryer provides in this article. There is so much to think about when it comes to the Core. Blind buy-in won't work, nor will vehement opposition. Let's look at all sides and move forward in a way that best suits students. Dr. Fryer is correct, this should NOT include huge emphasis on high stakes testing.

    This post gives a great overview of the shifts that are expected from the CCSS. Paying attention to these as you move forward will be critical. For us, a big shift will be the elementary level expectations of a balance between literary and informational text.

Real-world math problems are everywhere | Sine of the Times - 0 views

  •  
    The idea of doing "real world" problems in math class is not a new one. But, as this post from an excellent math blog (with a great name) explains, maybe the shift to the Common Core will help make this idea more of a reality, instead of just something teachers say they want to do.

    Achieve the Core calls this page "You've Got to Read This." An apt title, indeed. If you wanted a place to start learning about the Core, this is it.
