Follow the Technology bricked road to Common Core.

When educators first learn of the new standards for common core they may feel like they have been catapulted somewhere over the rainbow to land that is completely foreign to their current existence. Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My! Some may feel overwhelmed by the daunting drive to integrate technology into their daily lessons.
I have found a couple of tools that attempt to help teachers adjust to the land of CC.

The first resource I found that is pretty neat is a livebinder that covers many areas of common core and gives resources to help address that common core standards. This live binder has story resources, writing resources. It then provides you with technology resources to address those standards through technology. Under the writing resources tab is Blabberize which is a website that allows to add a voice over to any picture and make the mouth move(similar to the etrade babies but with a still photo). This would be an amazing classroom project allowing students to write a story and find a picture that goes with that story and record a voice over that "makes the picture talk." The biggest criticism that I would have for the livebinder would be to include examples of student work on the livebinder or be a little more in depth. It seems to be a bit shallow, but still a good find for ways to integrate technology that hits at the common core standards.

The second is a widget that can help you navigate through the common core by standard. I think this is a great guide for quick look up of the common core standards similar to the Pocket PASS, I don't really know how this would be directly used with student except for teacher planning and sometimes with middle school students it is beneficial to show them the standards so they understand why you, as the teacher, are teaching the material you are teaching. When I would help with math and reading I always showed students the PASS standards that correlated with the content we covered. This is a very useful widget. It gets a thumbs up from me!
