HELP!
The Common Core Standards place high expectations on
students with the hopes of preparing them for future endeavors.
Upon graduation, they are to have obtained the skills and knowledge necessary
to be successful at the next level, be it in the workforce or at a higher
education institution.
Students are not
the only ones under pressure to meet these expectations. Teachers are charged
with providing necessary instruction to the students that will allow them to
grasp critical ideas and skills. This can be a daunting task for both student and teacher,
but we are not without technological assistance to help obtain the desired
results.
Andy Petroski led a webinar to outline innovative technologies that can be applied to the teaching process and
meet the Common Core Standards. The list of tools was extensive, but included
the following: Gliffy, Google Apps, Prezi, Diigo, Edmodo, and iPadio. Several teachers
attending the webinar added others such as BrainScope and Quizlet. You can view Mr. Petroski's webinar here... Teaching the Common Core with Web-Based Technology
Watch this video and see an example of to how to use Edmodo and ReadWorks in
the classrooms to support the Common Core Standards.
These are tools that can improve student learning no matter what the next
epiphany or paradigm shift in education. Whether or not you buy in to a
particular set of standards over another or not – we probably can all agree that we want our
student to achieve success and to love learning. These tools can help us do that
effectively and efficiently.
