Book excerpt: Have you ever wished you had an instructional coach at your side to help align your curriculum with the tech-related indicators found in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)? You’re not alone. Nearly all U.S. states have adopted the Common Core, and teachers across the country are redesigning their lessons to meet the standards, including the ed tech component. In this book, you’ll learn how to shift your educational practice and integrate technology standards found within the Common Core into your curriculum. The authors clearly explain the standards and demonstrate how to incorporate them through classroom-tested examples that harness a robust list of student-friendly software, websites and apps.
