Always a pleasure to have you with us :) Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:08:56 +0000 So apps should be fine...I assume are they included in the media part of CCSS? #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:10:04 +0000 Therefore, any app developer team who is familiar with the standards should be able to demonstrate alignment with the CCSS #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:10:22 +0000 @roxiemunro Yes, and the good news is: there is a strong technology component in the CCSS. Kids will be expected... #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:11:01 +0000 @DavidBFox @theipodteacher #storyappchat Hi every body.

Yes! RT @AppsCurriculum: Here are the math and English Common Core standards: http://t.co/0ayMF4Ox. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:45:28 +0000 RT @AppsCurriculum: Here is where you can read the math and English Common Core standards: http://t.co/H8Q7kwd1. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:45:48 +0000 RT @brooks_jones: Teachers are some of the most time-strapped pros - doing some of the work for them will help us stand out! #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:46:08 +0000 And the teachers will be quicker to choose a professionally-done app that demonstrates alignment w/the Common Core #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:46:12 +0000 @roxiemunro It really is flexible, not difficult at all to understand, and provides a common ground of learning across states. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:47:08 +0000 @brooks_jones Amen! #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:47:21 +0000 I think it is very exciting. Only good news for us. They should be hungry for content for new technology. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:47:51 +0000 MT @AppsCurriculum: CCSS really is flexible, not difficult, and provides a common ground of learning across states. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:47:52 +0000 RT@AppsCurriculum It really is flexible, not difficult to understand, and provides a common ground of learning across states. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:48:05 +0000 @AppsCurriculum One of the most exciting aspects, IMHO. I love knowing kids all over will be exposed to the same stuff #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:48:29 +0000 One point...CCSS is for math and English. History, science, the arts...fall under the phrase "Literacy in science" etc. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:48:50 +0000 What does IMHO stand for? #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:49:11 +0000 @AppsCurriculum True. Subjects that aren't ELA or Math are still standardized at the state level #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:49:40 +0000 @KarenRobertson Just Googled it myself! In my humble opinion, Karen! Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:49:50 +0000 @KarenRobertson IMHO=In My Humble Opinion #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:49:56 +0000 @roxiemunro #storyappchat but teachers have to be shown the benefit and explained how to use it. Not all are tech savy to that degree Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:50:02 +0000 @AppsCurriculum Oh how funny, I thought it was a CCS term or something! LOL #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:50:38 +0000 @ruBORED But teachers will be required to cover the standards, as I understand it. So it's a requirement #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:51:28 +0000 @ruBORED That is why I speak at educational conferences...room full of teachers...and I teach them how to teach with apps. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:51:33 +0000 HOWEVER, the requirement part doesn't bother me (as a pre-service teacher) because they are so broad/flexible #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:52:03 +0000 @brooks_jones It's a requirement for the 45 or states' PUBLIC SCHOOLS. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:52:16 +0000 @rubored True, but more libraries & schools are buying ipads etc for kids. We have to make it as easy as possible for them. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:52:38 +0000 @AppsCurriculum Right! Including charters. Excludes the private/parochial schools, who do whatever they want :) #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:53:06 +0000 @brooks_jones I agree. Good apps should fit in beautifully. Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:53:49 +0000 @brooks_jones I am so happy you are involved in education! You will be a tech savvy teacher! #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:53:53 +0000 @ruBORED No doubt, but more and more schools are getting funding for technology #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:54:07 +0000 @KarenRobertson IMHO is a really old chat abbreviation... like LOL :-) #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:54:08 +0000 And what about Texas ;-(( #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:54:16 +0000 @roxiemunro A lot of schools are purchasing iPad carts for their teachers to check out, which means volume purchasing. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:54:41 +0000 @AppsCurriculum Thanks for your kind words! At my age, going back to school was scary, but I LOVE IT! #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:54:47 +0000 @DavidBFox @KarenRobertson Yep, how about ROTFL (rolling on the floor laughing) #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:55:29 +0000 @AppsCurriculum we love it when we get a volume purchase of our apps #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:55:33 +0000 @brooks_jones Yes, especially the schools who have scored poorly on testing...more money from govt for technology. #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:55:33 +0000 @roxiemunro #storyappchat right I think strong presentations to school systems would be the answer. Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:55:46 +0000 @roxiemunro I heard Texas isn't CCS. Isn't that right Cyndie? Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:56:01 +0000 @appscurriculum Already seeing educational purchases - love it! #storyappchat Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:56:02 +0000
