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/)
