The Common Core standards don’t just suggest novel technology use as a way to “engage students,” but rather requires learners to make complex decisions about how, when, and why to use technology–something educators must do as well.
-
While the long-term impact of these standards on learning is obviously unknown, the impetus—and potential—of meaningful technology integration into learning in K-12 schools in the United States has never been higher.

Effective educational technology strategies that link the three Ts—teaching, technology, and use of time—can enhance and accelerate systemic planning efforts focused at whole-school reform and improved student outcomes.

But revolutionizing education may finally be under way, fueled by the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI). At the heart of this ambitious initiative is the conviction that all students, regardless of race, income status, or zip code, deserve an education that prepares them for success in today’s job market and postsecondary institutions.

Systemic and effective use of technology and digital learning can connect middle and high school students to better teaching and learning experiences while also addressing three major challenges facing the nation’s education system: access to good teaching, tight budgets, and boosting student achievement.

Effective educational technology strategies must link the “three Ts”—teaching, technology, and use of time—with overall whole-school reform strategies and proven pedagogical practices to accelerate the pace of improvement and ensure that all students benefit from the opportunity that digital learning offers.

teachers can find complex, literary works in collections like “The Best American Science and Nature Writing,” on many newspaper Web sites, which have begun providing online lesson plans using articles for younger readers, and on ProPublica.org. Last year, The Atlantic compiled examples of the year’s best journalism, and The Daily Beast has its feature “Longreads.” Longform.org not only has “best of” contemporary selections but also historical examples dating back decades.
