Technology and Common Core Standards 

Technology and Common Core Standards

Students who are college and career ready in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language

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 and limitations of various technological tools and mediums and can select and use those

best suited to their communication goals.

 

Students who are mathematically proficient at various grade levels are able

to identify relevant 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

(Common Core State Standards http://www.corestandards.org/)

"New technologies have broadened and expanded the role that speaking and listening play in acquiring and

sharing knowledge and have tightened their link to other forms of communication.  The Internet has accelerated

the speed at which connections between speaking, listening, reading, and writing can be made, requiring that

students be ready to use these modalities nearly simultaneously. Technology itself is changing quickly, creating a

new  urgency for students to be adaptable in response to change."

 

“The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum.

In like fashion, research and media skills and understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather than treated

in a separate section.”

 

"Students need to be “self-directed learners, effectively seeking out and using resources to assist them, including teachers,

peers, and print and digital reference materials.”

(Common Core State Standards http://www.corestandards.org/)
