Download as PPTX, PDF1 like407 views
This document discusses how to effectively use online resources and the web to support Common Core learning. It argues that the web allows access to information anywhere and acts as a collective brain, so teachers should focus class time on higher-order skills like creating, evaluating, analyzing, and applying rather than just information delivery. It provides examples of how to flip the classroom using online videos and resources to allow more individualized instruction time. Specific websites for finding high-quality open educational resources are listed. The document also discusses tools for sharing resources like Blendspace and strategies for promoting creativity and critical thinking with new media.
