There are numerous Web tools that we can integrate into the curriculum to motivate student learning. These Web tools can be used not only with the CCSS, but also with AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner and the ISTE/NETS Standards for Students.

Lots of great tools to try out. All linked to common core. 

These are great, Joe! Some I've tried, others are new. Thanks for sharing!

Which technology tool might be used to facilitate (creating, sharing) the 'note pass' activity? 

If you're not worried about the students not knowing who is going to get their note, Google Docs would work. Thinking about how we've done note pass in PLN, usually students just pass their note around the table. In Google Docs, the teacher could have each student start a document (if he/she wanted a quote or prompt at the top, the teacher could start the doc and share it with the kids and have them make their own copy). Students could write their own ideas and then share their document with the student next to them, who then adds the next part. This would require some management and instruction the first time, but so does the traditional note pass activity.

Neat tool.

Love this! Use it all the time.

How could these resources support our ELA standards?

What a great list!

It would be nice to see a few schools who truly have successfully integrated technology into their schools with these tools and practices. We could likely pick up some good ideas on how and how not to implement. Our IU is working to locate districts like these and arrange visits.
