Resource Roundup: Common Core Standards

Each month, we'll feature a Resource Roundup on a key topic in technology integration and teaching and learning with digital materials. This month's topic: Common Core Standards! 

As states shift towards full integration of the Common Core Standards, educational resources and lesson plans aligned to the Common Core have sprung up around the web. A quick online search for Common Core lesson plans yields an overwhelming number of results, so we’ve waded through them and put together a few of our favorites:

• The Teaching Channel Common Core videos
• Core Commons – resources for states, policymakers and the public on the implementation of the Common Core Standards.
• North Carolina Common Core Instructional Support Tools
• Videos from the Hunt Institute explaining the various elements of the Common Core Standards.
• New York Times Common Core Lesson Plans
• Free iPhone app for the Common Core Standards!
