6.  The Common Core State Standards focus on Math and English/Language Arts. However, the standards also emphasize technology as a way to gain knowledge and develop skills in these areas. The CCSS include basic skills but they also ask for students to use technology to help them learn. In ELA, the standards call for students to use technology to produce and publish writing, evaluate information presented in different media and formats, and be able to produce presentations with digital media.  Technology should be integrated into academics instead of being taught separately. During this workshop, teachers learn how to embed technology into what they are teaching. This workshop provides an introduction of Web 2.0 tools that can be integrated into K-12 classrooms along with an instructional delivery lesson plan format, ActivThink, which integrates the Common Core Strands /Standards into everyday teacher plans. The overall goal of the workshop is to help teachers begin to create a classroom environment where technology merges with academics in a casual and natural way. Common Core and Technology

7. Teaching 21 st century skills often means that teachers teach students how to use PowerPoint, Excel, etc. TEC Teach K12 is instead, revamping instructional design in order to make classrooms more amenable for 21 st century technology demands. When teachers are comfortable and familiar with technology, they are more likely to find ways to integrate the use of technology into their lessons. TTK12 works with teachers to bring them into the world of their students. To accomplish this, teachers and students need to be involved in the process together. Students need to be engaged to learn. Engaging students often means using technology to teach, if it can help to meet a learning goal. “A good education comes from a good teacher. The technology is not going to suddenly make you a better teacher.” (Shelley Blake-Plock) It’s not about the latest and greatest. It’s about knowing what you want the students to know and finding the best way to get there.

9.  Web 2.0 technologies provide teachers with new ways to engage students in a meaningful way. "Children raised on new media technologies are less patient with filling out worksheets and listening to lectures" [41] because students already participate on a global level. The lack of participation in a traditional classroom stems more from the fact that students receive better feedback online. Traditional classrooms have students do assignments and when they are completed, they are just that, finished. However, Web 2.0 shows students that education is a constantly evolving entity. Whether it is participating in a class discussion, or participating in a forum discussion, the technologies available to students in a Web 2.0 classroom does increase the amount they participate.

13. Blogs versus Wikis Blogs and Wikis have some common denominators: They are both websites. They are both user-generated (the content of blogs and wikis is created by the actual people who use the blogs or wikis.) They both allow users to comment on the content. Wikis are better than blogs for: Archiving information for easy access. Gathering information from a group of people. For example, the wiki Library Success collects information from librarians around the world. (See this past MPLIC Tech Train blog post for more information about Library Success) Blogs are better than wikis for: Quickly sharing new information. Starting and maintaining a dialog between the publisher and reader.
