The Hewlett Foundation... sees the new Common Core Standards as an important driver for states and schools to revisit assessment, curriculum, and instruction. I would add that it is an opportunity to shift to a digital learning environment and where technology supports deeper learning.

Folders vs. Labels: How To File Messages
Gmail departs from the traditional folder tree by using "labels," which are essentially tags.What's nice about labels is that one message can be assigned multiple labels(effectively making it appear in what seem to be separate folders) without having to copy the message. For instance, if a message relates to both "family" and "work," then with Gmail you can mark it with both labels and find those messages in either of those label-folders. In a traditional tree, you would have to choose only one folder (or duplicate the message).*

ePortfolios using GAE
The primary purpose of the ePortfolio at U-32 is for students to reflect on and showcase their work and understand what they have learned through the process of developing their own ePortfolio.
U-32 ePortfolios:
a partnering project empowering student involvement in their own learning.
Putting students at the center of their learning while addressing the U32 21st century learning expectations.

Flipping with Google Tools
Using Google Forms, YouTube, and Google Sites you can create your own Flipped Classroom or PD.
Example:
WCSU EdTech Flipping with Google
Results: Google Drive Quiz
PD example would be to create a Site, post videos on Blood Born Pathogens, embed a form and have teachers self-complete PD on this Health Issue. Using Google Spreadsheet Scripts it would automatically send them a certificate of completion.
Google Blogger
Google Blogger - "produce, publish...shared writing products"
Examples:
CCSS ELA:
Students don't tend to write unless they have to. Blogs give students the power to have voice in a way that traditional academic writing does not.
