This document discusses how technology can support teachers in helping students meet the requirements of the Common Core State Standards. It provides examples of digital tools that can promote communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and other skills emphasized by the CCSS, including coding platforms, curation tools, and platforms for creativity and blogging. The document also addresses trends in education like blended learning and the use of learning management systems.

‘Writing about reading requires more resources than when
students are just asked to write about what they already
know, especially when the Standards - and research findings
- emphasize the importance and value of digital tools in
writing. To accomplish the CCSS, students need not only the
active support of well prepared teachers but also easy access
to online research resources and digital writing and editing
tools.’

‘Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments
of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask
useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.’

‘Programs in teacher education and professional
development must continually update practitioners’
knowledge of technology and its application to support
learning. This work with practitioners should include the
development of mathematics lessons that take advantage
of technology-rich environments and the integration of
digital tools in daily instruction, instilling an appreciation for
the power of technology and its potential impact on
students’ understanding and use of mathematics.’

13. Trends in Education
● No more computer labs
● Blended, personalized learning
● The 4 C’s (Critical thinking & problem solving, Creativity, Communication, Collaboration)
● Teachers as learning partners
● Coding
14. Backchannels
● Padlet (chrome app)
● Today’s Meet
● Twitter
● Google Moderator
● Poll Everywhere
● Lino
Why backchannel?
● clarify ideas
● ask questions
● read and improve on
arguments of others
● give all students a
voice
grades 6-12

Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence
when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
24. YouTube & Explain Everything
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.L.1
Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.

25. Blogging
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.W.10
Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single
sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.

26. Google Docs
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.W.5
Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.W.6
Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.
27. Tellagami & Book Creator
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.SL.4
Present information, findings, and supporting evidence such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the
organization, development, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

28. Managing Ed Tech
● LMS - It’s not a question of ‘if’,
but ‘when’
● Which Learning Management
System will you choose?
