Infusing Technology
into the Common Core
Common Core Creation
2
 50 States have Officially adopted the Common
Core Standards.
 The Standards build upon the most advanced
current thinking about preparing all students for
success in college and their 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 will be based on best
practices.

Common Assessment and Tools will be 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 Arts
4
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 Mathematics
5
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 wellprepared 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 Core
6
 Use technology and digital media
strategically and capably.
 Students proficient in technology will be
better prepared for college and careers.
Schools must prepare students for the
jobs of tomorrow .
 Technology is being used in our
classroom to collaborate, create content,
and solve problems.
Students Should be able to
 Produce and Publish Documents
 Interact and Collaborate
 Communicate Using Web Tools
 Evaluate Information Presented in Different Media
Formats
7
Technology in ELA
8
 They use technology and digital media strategically
and capably.
 Students employ technology thoughtfully to enhance
their reading, writing, speaking, listening, and
language use. They tailor their searches online to
acquire useful information efficiently, and they
integrate what they learn using technology with what
they learn offline. They are familiar with the
strengths andlimitations of various technological
tools and mediums and can select and use those best
suited to their communication goals.

 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.
