This was a very interesting commercial recently launched by Exxon, April 12, 2013.
The goal developed by the Great Lakes Bay Regional Tech team is based on what we found in the Common Core State Standards. It is validating to find corporations who understand the benefits of this initiative! If you haven't viewed it, check this out! Click on the picture to go to YouTube - the Exxon Commercial. Very cool! Here are the ELA and literacy standards that include technology. Additionally, this link includes standards to both ELA & Math that include technology. The work is exciting! There is a lot to do! Welcome newcomers!!
After several weeks of planning and obsessing over tools and sites, this site is ready to go out! It will change it's look along the way as we find a better format to make this information available to our users and visitors. A brain-child of the Great Lakes Bay Technology team, we have been in the process of crafting ways to share ready-to-use technology resources for educators and students. Our goal for the Great Lakes Bay is: All students in the Great Lakes Bay Region will be proficient using current and universal technology, and develop critical thinking skills as they assess and use digital resources to produce and publish work relevant to all and across all curricular areas. I am grateful to this team! You will be hearing from us regularly as we share tools and resources that you can use immediately.
