200 Common Core Videos Aligned To The Upcoming PARCC Standards

The Education system in the U.S. is receiving a "tune-up" in regard to its evaluation system. Common Core and PARCC standards are allowing states to align their curricula and incorporate the principles of standards-based education. While these new standards may seem daunting to pre-service teachers, it's important to remember that the change is necessary to stay competitive in a global economy. To aid in your understanding of these new standards, I have linked several websites that provide information on how to incorporate these standards into your future classroom.

Google Sites Tips and Tricks

If you need a quick, easy, and free website, look no further than Google Sites. This website creation program from Google provides a straightforward approach to website creation. There is no software to download, and teachers can update their websites from anywhere as long as they have access to the Internet. You will find screencasts that walk you though the basics of setting up a Google site underneath EDUCATIONAL SCREENCAST.
