Technology is only as good as the ability of the teacher to use it properly.  Failure to preform necessary professional development with faculty and staff prior to any tech roll-out will guarantee failure of the initiative.

This article from EdWeek discusses the Miami-Dade district’s decision to make sure these resources weren’t wasted.

Common Core — Misconceptions and Reality

Common Core Resources

I have taken the liberty to put all of the Common Core Standards documents in one place.

There seems to be a lot of talk about Common Core and the potential for nefarious schemes encoded within.

The problem with all the vitriol encircling Common Core is that it is NOT a Federal takeover. CC was established by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers to ensure that students in each state had a more gap-free educational experience.

Common Core is and rightfully should be STATE LED.

These are politically neutral. They are academic standards like any other academic standards. They should be viewed outside of any political attachment. Sometimes a DUCK is just a DUCK.

Following is a PDF bringing all of the Common Core information you could ever want to know.

Larry Johnson addressed NISOD in May to introduce the 2013 Horizon Report for Higher education.  What was the bottom line?  The paradigm has already shifted.  We are all playing “catch-up.”

Florida Universities Board of Governors think ONLINE…

Following the lead of for-profit online educational institutions, the Florida Universities Board of Governors have taken the first step in moving toward expanded online offerings for students in the Sunshine State.

Taking their cues from schools like Kaiser and ITT tech, while missing the solid guidance offered by not-for-profit colleges and universities.  The Board of Governors would do well to consider their next steps carefully so that their students get the best possible result.
