We will focus on two main ways to use technology to address common core
standards… Through
assessment Through concept
review
Kahoot•It’s Free!!!•Website-
• Teachers: www.getkahoot.com
• Students: www.kahoot.it
•Find thousands of premade quizzes and polls•Adapt quizzes and polls to fit your needs•Create new quizzes and polls easily •Formative and summative assessment possibilities•Provides immediate feedback
Let’s Try it! Here’s an example of how Kahoot
can be used in the classroom:
FrontRow• Geared for math differentiation•Makes differentiation easier in the K-8 classroom by:
• Aligning to Common Core Standards
• Giving practice and instruction at a student’s level
• Providing reports and information to the teacher
• Allowing students to celebrate successes as they earn coins to use in the FrontRow store!
•Can be used at home or at school through Ipads, Chromebooks, and desktops.•Click here to sign up and investigate this tool further!

Plickers• Summative Assessment without a ton of tech
•Takes the place of clickers used with Promethean boards
•Can be run through your own Smartphone for quick assessment
•All students assigned a Pickers card based on their class number
•Students hold up Plickers card with correct response on top
•Website automatically collects data and responses, processes information, and gives you a live report!
•Can be used in place of paper exit slips, quick in-class response, check-ins for understanding, and pre-assessments that students can also view to help you plan instruction on a topic!
So, how can they be used in the classroom?
DifferentiatedInstruction:
• Teachers can choose levels students will work at.
• Research IS an option!
• Students at higher levels aren’t left behind!
SummativeAssessments:
• 1:1 for those students who have difficulty reading/writing
• Gifted Students can be given text at higher level
FormativeAssessments:
• Exit tickets
• Pre-assessments
• Hold-Up cards
What About Research?
Yes! Don’t let your fear stop you!
Take time to clearlydefine group rolesand expectations!
Let students know that they must play an active part in their own
learning!
Make resourceseasily accessible
foryoung learners!
Questions to ask yourself:1. What are routines for getting
materials/technology?2. How will you manage
passwords?3. What is the most effective way
to manage resources safely?4. How do students as for help?5. How can I connect with my
tech department to make this happen?
Literacy Resources
• These websites and tools meet a variety of common core standards.
•Gives your students a chance to work at their own level.
•You can assign students to certain levels of activities through a grade-level home page!
Into the Book
Spelling City
ABcYA
BBC Bitesize EverySchool Shel Silverstein
Wonderopolis
FunFonix Spelling Bee
Math Resources• Self explanatory as far as how they meet common core standards
•Options also give you a chance to address different styles of learning in your classroom
•Work with children on time-management skills using the online stopwatches
•Push students towards higher level thinking in math through interactive games!

Cross-Curricular Tech Tools
• Looking to meet science, social studies or writing standards? Start right here!
•Students can publish their own original writing, create online books to share with the class (and comment on the work of others).
•Worried about little learners trying to wade through scary and unreadable search engines? No more!
•Meet the needs of ELL learners, those who struggle in writing, and those who are geared for high-interest activities!

Routines and Rules for Tech
IPADS
Things to consider: How will they get their
Chromebooks? What are rules for moving
with them? How do they use them
properly? How do they log on (easiest
is best). Can they move around with
the Chromebooks (NO)? How do they put them away?
Things to consider Rules and procedures for
getting/putting away Ipads. Do not change screen saver
or background! What if an app or Ipad isn't
working properly? Can they move around with
the Ipads? What about keeping their
hands clean?
CHROMEBOOKS
Thank you for coming! Remember, tech is a tool to enhance learning and instruction! Share successes
with your fellow teachers (including me)! The possibilities are endless and your students will love you for
exploring them!
