  • In this series of three posts, we aim to provide an overview of the ELA Common Core State Standards (ELA CCSS) to inform educators, parents, and community members about basic concepts and implementation. In this first post, we will introduce the ELA CCSS and provide context to those who are new to the standards. In the second post, we will go into further detail on the key features of the ELA CCSS and discuss the opportunities that they provide. In the third post, we will take a look at how various states are starting to implement the standards.
  • For grades 6-12, the focus also includes Literacy in History/Social Studies and Literacy in Science and Technical subjects.
  • Technology is integrated throughout the CCSS rather than positioned in a stand-alone section.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • As stated in the ELA overview, the goal for students is "they are familiar with the strengths and limitations of various technological tools and mediums and can select and use those best suited to their communication goals (p.7)."

      I believe this is a new piece that needs to be a source of discussion. The Tech team and classroom teachers are already beginning the process of delineating the ETSE standards by grade level.

    "Kerbal Space Program is a neat new program (still in beta) for Mac and Windows that allows students to create and manage their own virtual space travel programs. One of the highlights of Kerbal is that through the software students can develop and test rockets. "

    A game looking at energy choices and the impact they have on quality of life and government funds. If we do a expedition about building a green home this might be a good activity.
