This document summarizes Joquetta "The Digital Diva" Johnson's presentation on satisfying hunger for technology and the Common Core. The presentation discusses how the Common Core requires students to conduct research, analyze a variety of print and non-print texts, and use technology thoughtfully to enhance reading, writing, speaking, listening and language skills. It provides links to resources like apps, websites and tutorials that teachers and students can use to develop vocabulary and digital literacy skills aligned with Common Core standards. Examples are given of how students used various digital tools and platforms like Edmodo, Flip cameras and iPads in school projects.

college, workforce
training, and life in a
technological
society, students need
the ability to conduct
original research in order
to answer questions or
solve problems, and to
analyze and create a high
volume and extensive
range of print and nonprint texts in media
forms old and new.”

college and career
ready employ
technology
thoughtfully to
enhance their reading,

with the strengths and
limitations of various
technological tools
and mediums and can
select and use those
best suited to their
communication goals.”
