CCSS: Common Core State Standards and Technology

View this YouTube video: Technology in the Common Core State Standards.  

How to Align Technology with Common Core State Standards?

Common Core Standards address math, reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language, and are designed "to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young audience needs in order to be successful."

For us in technology, it reinforces what has already been a focus: Technology is no longer a stand-alone subject; rather it is expected to support core subjects. Yes, skills must be taught, but as an integration into classroom inquiry.

There is one other challenge–beyond reworking lesson plans so those connections are clear. Technology skills are taught in a sequence. Students are ready for each new skill based on the foundation laid by prior skills. You don’t want to do a trifold in Publisher (published to the website with Embedit.in) or a movie in Animoto no matter how nicely it supports a literary unit until students understand concepts like tools, toolbars, software, inputting text and pictures, digital citizenship, images, and internet research.

Education Technology Task Force

On March 17, 2012, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson appointed 48 volunteers to become members of his Education Technology Task Force. Gathering advice from the Task Force is the first step in the State Superintendent's effort to update the Education Technology Plan approved by the State Board of Education in 2005.

CTAP: California Technology Assistance Project

With their many hand-held devices, students are mobile, wireless and on-the-go. How do you support productive uses of student communication when it is outside of our local area networks? Situations have arisen ranging from cyberbullying to sexting to cheating in schools. Where does your school district stand on the issue of mobile technology use? How can you balance the benefits of mobile technology in learning with the controls needed to provide a safe environment? [Through CTAP] A legal expert will address these questions and provide guidance on the latest updates to California education code.

ALA: American Library Association

The American Library Association (ALA) Presidential Committee on Information Literacy:  Final Report states:  “Information literate people know how to find, evaluate, and use information effectively to solve a particular problem or make a decision. . .” Information literacy skills allow individuals to use the power of the Internet to help answer their informational needs; the lack of such skills leaves library users without the ability to navigate the vast resources of the Internet in efficient and effective ways. Although we live in the “information age” and children seem “connected” from birth, research has shown that people need education in developing skills that will help them use the Internet effectively. Libraries can serve as primary training providers to help meet this need.

A team led by Dr. Leslie Farmer assembled this wiki for the California School Library Association (CSLA) on Digital Citizenship:

Digital Citizenship is a timely and much-needed response to California and federal mandates. The California School Library Association (CSLA) sponsors this online course for educators and their K-12 students.
