Infusing Technology into the Common Core

Common Core Creation2

50 States have Officially adopted the Common Core Standards.

Standards build upon advanced current thinking about preparing all students for success in college and careers.

Standards are meant to provide clarity and rigor

Standards are research based and apply higher order thinking skills.

Common Core Benefits 3

Professional Development based on best practices. Common Assessment and Tools developed for all states. Creates a fairer comparison of policies and achievement

between states and districts Creates collaboration across the states and districts for

curriculum and professional development purposes.

Key Points in English Language Arts4

Reading Stresses complexity in reading

and developing reading comprehension skills.

Students should be exposed to a diverse array of classic and contemporary literature.

Ensuring that student’s are exposed to classic myths and stories from around the world, foundational U.S. documents, seminal works of American literature and the writings of Shakespeare. The standards appropriately defer the many remaining decisions about what and how to teach to states, districts, and schools.

Writing The ability to write logical arguments

based on substantive claims, sound reasoning, and relevant evidence is a cornerstone of the writing standards, with opinion writing—a basic form of argument—extending down into the earliest grades.

Research—both short, focused projects (such as those commonly required in the workplace) and longer term in depth research —is emphasized throughout the standards but most prominently in the writing strand since a written analysis and presentation of findings is so often critical.

Annotated samples of student writing accompany the standards and help establish adequate performance levels in writing arguments, informational/explanatory texts, and narratives in the various grades.

Key Points in Mathematics5

K-5 Emphasis on whole numbers,

addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and decimals.

The K-5 standards provide a detailed guidance for teachers on topics such as fractions, negative numbers, and geometry, and do so by maintaining a continuous progression from grade to grade.

The standards stress procedural skill and conceptual understanding, to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels.

Middle & High School A strong foundation in K-5, Prepares

students for hands on learning in geometry, algebra and probability and statistics. Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills through the 7th grade will be well-prepared for algebra in grade 8.

Students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges.

The high school standards emphasize mathematical modeling, the use of mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations, understand them better, and improve decisions. When making mathematical models, technology is valuable for varying assumptions, exploring consequences, and comparing predictions with data.”

Technology In The Common Core6

Use technology and digital media strategically and capably.

Students proficient in technology will be better prepared for college and careers.

Technology being used to collaborate, create content, and solve problems.

Students Should be able to

Technology in ELA8

Students use technology and digital media strategically and capably.

Students employ technology to enhance reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language use.

Students tailor searches online to acquire useful information efficiently, and to integrate with what they learn offline.

Students are familiar with strengths and limitations of various technological tools and can select appropriate ones to use

Technology in Mathematics19

Use appropriate tools strategically.Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem. These tools might include pencil and paper, concrete models, a ruler, a protractor, a calculator, a spreadsheet, a computer algebra system, a statistical package, or dynamic geometry software. When making mathematical models, they know that technology can enable them to visualize the results of varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare predictions with data. Mathematically proficient students at various grade levels are able to identify relevant external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, and use them to pose or solve problems. They are able to use technological tools to explore and deepen their understanding of concepts.
