2.How Teachers Are Intergrating Tech Common Core

Education and technology is getting more advanced everyday. Schools around the world are getting more advanced in their ways of teaching. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is the perfect way to combine technology and education. The common core gives students a deeper understanding of topics and allows them to be more in touch with technology. Items such as iBooks and iTunes U allows students to interact with not only teachers but with other students as well. Using iTunes U teachers can add things such as videos, documents, podcasts, and applications. CCSS helps students to be more advanced in their test taking skills. The "core" in common core is the idea that students should get a more in depth knowledge of the content rather than learning more of something over time.

In my opinion, I think the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is a great idea for education. Putting iPads, iBooks, and iTunes U in the school systems allow children an equal opportunity in learning. Teaching students more in depth rather than shallow and broad, helps them learn the material instead of just memorizing it. Using technology to test students is a great idea because they can turn around and demonstrate the information they just learned. In my opinion I believe the Common Core technology should be used to schools all around the world.
