This document discusses how to effectively use online resources and the web to support Common Core standards and maximize classroom time. It argues that the web acts as a collective brain where facts are easily accessible. It suggests flipping the classroom by moving direct instruction online so class time can be spent on higher-order skills like creating, evaluating, analyzing and applying knowledge. Specific online learning platforms and resources are recommended for finding engaging content that can be accessed anywhere and allows for self-paced and individualized learning. The document also provides tips for sharing resources and using new media to promote creativity and critical thinking.
