The document discusses how technology and online tools can support the implementation of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in schools. It explains that the CCSS emphasize deeper learning goals and integrate media and technology standards. It also describes how online professional development courses for teachers through EdTech Leaders Online can help educators understand how to align their teaching with the CCSS, with a focus on how technology enables deeper learning and allows teachers to explore resources for the classroom. The courses provide opportunities for reflection, trying new strategies, and receiving feedback to help implement the mathematics and English language arts CCSS.

Something Old. Something New: Supporting Lecture Delivery with Digital Tools. Expanding Communities of Practice with Social Media.
How can we use new technologies of distribution and social support to create effective and pedagogically useful online teaching environments?
This paper offers an in depth analysis of the experience of online learning offered by Harvard University, Penn State University and MIT. It asks what lessons we should consider when adapting new technologies to old teaching methodologies, and more importantly, how these environments may change the way we teach.

2. Today’s Focus
How technology and media standards are infused
throughout the CCSS
How technology and media supports the deeper
learning goals of the CCSS
How technology supports the professional
development needs of teachers to implement the
CCSS
3. About EdTech Leaders Online
Goal: Build capacity to use online learning to
meet educational goals
Based at EDC (education non-profit) since 1999
For states, districts, regional centers, universities,
other educational organizations
Over 4500 online facilitators trained in 36 states
Online facilitator & course design programs
70+ online courses, including for Common Core
Custom course development
Learning Community, facilitated model
4. Quick CCSS Overview
CCSS are:
Standards for students to be college and career ready
Build on strengths/lessons of current state standards
Designed to be: coherent, clearer, fewer, higher,
measurable and internationally benchmarked
Focus on fostering deeper learning
CCSS are not:
Curriculum
Prescription for how to teach
5. Cross-grade learning progressions:
Organization for Deeper Learning
ELA
designed as a “staircase”
anchor standards in Reading, Writing, Speaking
and Listening, and Language
media and literacy throughout
increased focus on
informational text
informative/explanatory writing
domain specific vocabulary
6. Coherent Organization
for Deeper Learning
Math
Standards for Mathematical Practice
Consistent across all grade levels
Describe mathematical habits of mind
Standards for Mathematical Content
Organized in domains that progress over
several grades
High school standards presented by
conceptual theme
7. CCSS Focus on Deeper Learning
“Rigorous: he standards will include high-level
cognitive demands by asking students to
demonstrate deep conceptual understanding
through the application of content knowledge and
skills to new situations.
High-level cognitive demand includes reasoning,
justification, synthesis, analysis, and problem-
solving.”
- Common Core State Standards Initiative Standards-Setting Criteria
http://www.corestandards.org/resources
8. CCSS Focus on Technology and Media
From the English Language Arts Standards:
“Just as media and technology are integrated in school
and life in the twenty-first century, skills related to
media use (both critical analysis and production of
media) are integrated throughout the standards.”
“Students employ technology thoughtfully to enhance
their reading, writing, speaking, listening, and
language use.”
http://www.corestandards.org/resources/key-points-in-english-language-arts
9. Focus on Technology and Media, cont.
From the CCSS Mathematics Standards:
“When making mathematical models, [students] know that
technology can enable them to visualize the results of
varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare
predictions with data... They are able to use technological
tools to explore and deepen their understanding of
concepts”

10. CCSS Professional Development
Needs
Educators need:
to understand the the media and technology
standards
to understands how technology supports deeper
learning throughout standards
to understand the standards – overall - and how to
align their teaching
11. Online PD for CCSS Approach
Focused on content, pedagogy, and assessment
Developed in a learning community model
Provide time for teacher reflection
Enables teachers to try out strategies in their classrooms
and create new classroom-based CCSS aligned lessons
Enables feedback from course participants and facilitator
Focus on how media and technology support teacher and
student deeper learning – providing important experience
with technology resources teachers can explore and use
with their students
