Common Core & Web Tools for Common Core You will have access to and a comprehensive list of best practices and best educational sites that are free on the web. All materials will be hosted online on a website that will be available beyond the days of the Academy itself for future reference, as well! Cohorts are limited to only 30 teachers! In this three-session academy, we will cover the following topics: 1) Productivity, Communication & Collaboration - Learn and practice the basics and beyond as we cover workflow, productivity and shortcuts. Explore the best of the web when it comes to communication and collaboration for both your students and your work. 2) Curation and Creativity – Learn about the best tools to search out, pull together and make learning meaningful! Create lessons that encourage and highlight the creativity in all of us - especially our students! 3) Pulling It All Together – Based on the previous two sessions, you will create at least one lesson or project that you can use in your classes to truly leverage the web in ways to genuinely integrate the Common Core Standards.
