Cutting to the Core:  Technology and the Common Core

​

Did you know that the word technology appears in the Common Core State Standards 20 different times? The Common Core Standards place a strong emphasis on technology skills in order to help ensure that students are ready for college or work after high school. We will discuss the standards that have a technology emphasis and share tools that teachers and students can use to master those standards. A variety of tools will be showcased, including Web2.0 tools, iPad apps, search sites and of course, Discovery Education Streaming tools and content.

Discovery Education Assignment/Quiz Builder

Your district pays for Discovery, you know it's a great product, and you use the videos frequently.  How do you tie them into a great assignment or quiz that you don't have to spend hours grading?  In this session we'll take the time to build an assignment and a quiz for you to take to your class.

Building a Culture of Wonder and Curiosity 

 

I am excited to share some of the ways that I build a culture of Wonder and Curiosity in my classroom. I teach students in grade 3, 4 and 5. We use technology to investigate our wonders, understand the world and make global connections. My students use a variety of tools to demonstrate their learning of concepts taught, as well investigate their personal wonders during Genius Hour.

Discovery Education Board Builder

Explore Discovery Education Board Builder and how it can be used in a variety of ways in your classroom. Board Builder is a great tool for users to create “multimedia posters” that can hold text, images, and video. The great part of Board Builder is the seamless transition with content from Discovery Education. However, users can also upload their own content, including video and images from other sources.
