Project 3 C4T

C4T Summary
Understanding the Technology in Common Core compares the Common Core standards to the standards that are in California. Common Core and the California standards are similar in many ways, but the common core standards prepare students for college and a career. According to Needleman's research, Common Core uses a variety of technology in every subject. Students will need to understand and apply the use of technology because technology is expanding and is becoming a requirement for virtually every profession.

I like the Common Core standards because the standards are rigorous and prepare students for higher learning. The Common Core standards are also specific and the content is more in depth, therefore, I believe the standards will be an excellent change for education.

Fluency Timer Now Available for iPad, iPod, iPhone is a new app. The app allows teachers, students and parents the ability to monitor how well a student read. The fluency timer app allows students to record themselves and playback what they have read. Research has proven that the fluency timer is a great app for students because it allows the student to listen to themselves read and the students are able catch their mistakes. The app allows the teacher to pay attention to the student's errors and not have to worry about the length of time the student is reading.

The fluency timer is a great app that allows the student to time themselves and hear their mistakes, but it is also a great app that allows the teacher to use as an intervention to help students improve their reading skills. The fluency app is a great intervention tool to use in any classroom.
