Web Resouces to Prepare Students for CCSS


There are lots of things out there on the Common Core and Technology, I have done a little searching even on Pinterest there are a lot of ideas.   Find resources at some place other than the State of Oklahoma Department of Education that suggests how students could be better prepared for the common core using technology.
Share the link, critique it, and talk about how it could look in a real classroom.. (ie is it realistic? what problems might you encounter if you try it? )

The Common Core State Standards emphasize on using technology authentically. There are many instances where students are required to use technology for research or online publishing. The following sites would be great to prepare students of all levels for the technological jumps they will have to make according to the CCSS.

Writing Standard 6 Grade 8: Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and present the relationships between information and ideas efficiently as well as to interact and collaborate with others.
http://www.boomwriter.com/home/Schools - Students are given online writing prompts and the students anonymously vote and collaborate on their favorite chapter. It’s very interesting and fun way to publish and review published writing.
http://www.storyjumper.com/ - Students can create a readable e-book with pictures and text.
