(The Common Core ) Activity 1: Gathering Resources Scavenger Hunt Bloom’s taxonomy: Aiming your lessons at the right level. Activity 2: Using Web 2.0 to collaboratively create a student skill progression profile for use in our course Summarizer: Posting and presentation of the profile

Why use technology? Module 2 Objective Students will explore the role of technology in the 21 st century classroom. Upon completion of this course, participants will develop an instructional style that integrates technology as a tool for enhanced content delivery, skill development, and student expression. Successful completion of this objective will be evidenced by the creation of a sound Educational Technology Philosophy Statement and accompanying video.

What is a Standards-Based Education ? Clearly defined academic content standards provide the basis for content in instruction and assessment. These become a tool for planning, delivering, monitoring and improving academic programs

What is a Standards-Based Education ? Standards help ensure students learn what is important, rather than allowing textbooks to dictate classroom practice. Student learning is the focus - aiming for a high and deep level of student understanding that goes beyond traditional textbook-based or lesson- based instruction.

What is a Standards-Based Education ? Consistently communicates and uses standards to focus on ways to ensure success for all students. Uses assessment to inform instruction.

Common Core Standards

What is the Common Core? A state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs.

Primary Intent The New ELA/Literacy and Math Curriculum Frameworks, comprised primarily of the Common Core State Standards, were written explicitly to define the knowledge and skills that students must master to be college and career ready by the end of high school.

The Common Core Standards Are aligned with college and work expectations Are clear, understandable and consistent Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society Are evidence-based.

Activity 2: Creating a K-12 Skill Progression Profile Get into group 3 groups. Try to have someone from each of the following roles in your group: -Someone with classroom experience -Someone who is tech savvy or has used Prezi before -Someone who has a some career experience

Activity 2: Creating a K-12 Skill Progression Profile Identify two standards from both the reading and writing requirements and one that deals with research. On the Prezi, list the standard, give an idea of a lesson that could help student achieve this standard, and connect the standard to it importance later on in the workplace.Prezi
