Riassunto

Connect Common Core, inquiry, and technology!

While technology ushers in exciting and innovative educational opportunities, finding best practices for complete integration remains a challenge. In this practical resource, educators will discover a roadmap for implementing digital age best practices. With discussions on how to promote networked collaboration, bolster purposeful inquiry, and anchor student decision-making and learning with digital-age tools, these research-based strategies deliver:

• A user-friendly road map for digital transition into new Common Core Standards
• Lesson plans, benchmarks, and instructional units to bridge the link between 21st century skills, Common Core Standards, and student achievement
• Practical tips for classroom, building, and district implementation
• Tools and guidance for successful PLCs

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"If you are looking for a book that makes the links between standards, technology use, and readily implementable classroom lessons and makes a difference for students, then consider yourself to have one in your hand. In addition, the connections made to diversified professional development and administrative practices are laid out in a way that makes it easy to put them in to practice tomorrow." (Dr. Bonnie Tryon, Ed.D, SAANYS Representative)

"This book provides cutting-edge professional learning in the teaching of higher level learning skills. When schools, systems, states and nations (e.g. Singapore) need to equip students with the skills that will facilitate creativity here is the blueprint. The carefully crafted advice has been road tested and it works. I am waiting impatiently for the book to become available because it can help to improve every student’s learning, and therefore it should be essential reading for every preservice teacher and educational paraprofessional during their training." (Dr. Neil MacNeill, Principal)

"Rather than keeping the discussion at the theoretical level, Moersch provides concrete scenarios and the success and challenges.  The need for administrative support and leadership is detailed, as are walkthrough examples and implementation recommendations. This text is scholarly, but accessible, and includes a balance of real-life examples and strategies."
