Know & Tell Danesa: Technology simply enhances learning and curriculum, not overshadows it. When the opportunity arises, allow your stu- dents multiple options, or a menu, for the use of technology. Ones you know well and ones you may not. Your students will let you know what works. Give them opportunities to help you select or suggest tech ideas for lessons. Have your students become experts in areas and teach their peers. Your students are one of your best tech resources! And they want to be! Karen: Keep an open mind! You don't have to be a tech wizard to integrate technology into your classroom, especially when you are trying to learn new standards at the same time. Seek out a teacher who is already trying this out and collaborate or ask for ideas. We are all peers, and we need to support each other through this excit- ing change that is happening in the educational system. Danesa: Remember, you're not the first or the only one attempt- ing the integration of Common Core and technology. We are all in this together, and together is always better.
