Common Core of Teaching
Domain 2: Teachers promote student engagement,
independence, and interdependence in learning by facilitating a
positive learning community
Domain 3: Teachers plan instruction in order to engage students
in rigorous and relevant learning and to promote their curiosity
about the world at large
Domain 4: Teachers implement instruction in order to engage
students in rigorous and relevant learning and to promote their
curiosity about the world at large
Domain 5: Teachers use multiple measures to analyze student
performance and to inform subsequent planning and instruction
21st Century Skills
Key Points
There is a distinct connection between the CCSS, CCT, and 21st

Teacher candidates need to be aware of this.
They need to learn effective use of technologies to effectively
address the CCSS, CCT, and 21st Century Skills.

Editor's Notes

  • #8 Drive is similar to Microsoft Office. However, it has several strengths.
  • #11 SAMR: Technology should be used to improve learning. Otherwise, what is the point?
  • #12 You can use a computer, but does it improve learning?
  • #13 This could help.
  • #14 Ok, here we go. We have a benefit from at least five apps.
  • #15 Now lets add Scholar, Google +, Sites, Blogger, YouTube, Hangouts, Picasa. The point here is that you now have options for creating learning opportunities that did not exist previously. Not everyone will want to do this, but the option is there. This pd program offers educators training to help them do more with Google Apps. Specifically related to the Common Core, but with their teaching in general.(ie calendar) In other words, use these great resources for improved learning instead of just for the sake of using it. We make it approachable Word: type as is Google: collaborate
  • #16 Drive is similar to Microsoft Office. However, it has several strengths. Technology is a tool Provides transparency Make it approachable Bold or subtle Syncs many apps together really well
