Grade 1 | Introduction. In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and (4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes. Students develop strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers based on their prior work with small numbers.

They use a variety of models, including discrete objects and length-based models (e.g., cubes connected to form lengths), to model add-to, take-from, put-together, take-apart, and compare situations to develop meaning for the operations of addition and subtraction, and to develop strategies to solve arithmetic problems with these operations.

The K-12 standards on the following pages define what students should understand and be able to do by the end of each grade. They correspond to the College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards below by number. The CCR and grade-specific standards are necessary complements—the former providing broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity—that together define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate.

Overview The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects are the culmination of an extended, broad-based effort to fulfill the charge issued by the states to create the next generation of K–12 standards in order to help ensure that all students are college and career ready in literacy no later than the end of high school. The Standards set requirements not only for English Language Arts but also for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. Just as students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, so too must the Standards specify the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines.

Strands are larger groups of related standards. Tennessee English/Language Arts Curriculum Center. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) establish learning goals for English Language Arts students and the literacy proficiencies for students in history/social studies, science, and technical subject areas. The CCSS for grade 6 and above are predicated on having teachers from different content areas combine their area content knowledge expertise to help students develop the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness across multiple disciplines. The 6–12 literacy standards in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects do not replace content standards in these content areas, but rather, are intended to supplement them. In terms of their organization, the Common Core State Standards for ELA are grouped into: Strands: larger groups of related standards.

After drawing these with a Rocketfish stylus (my favorite of the 4 or 5 iPad styluses I’ve tried to date) I cropped the images on my iPad using the Skitch app, and uploaded them to Flickr using PhotoSync. If anything, I hope by creating and sharing these amateurish drawings I’m following my own advice in “playing with media!” Literacy Is Not Enough: 21st Century Fluency for the Digital Age by Ian Jukes.

These are my notes from Ian Jukes‘ METC 2010 presentation, “Literacy Is Not Enough: 21st Century Fluency for the Digital Age” at the METC 2010 conference. MY THOUGHTS ARE IN ALL CAPS. I haven’t heard Ian present in quite a few years. He was the first person at an educational technology conference (TCEA) to really make my head spin and inspire me to get on the digital learning mardi gras float. Quoting Don Tapscott, “Grown Up Digital: How the Net Generation is Changing Your World” consumers vs prosumers In have value entertain teach students today may be literate by the standards of the 20th century, but won’t be literate by the standard of OUR society today we need to move to 21st century literacies or fluencies – when you are literate, you still have to think about what you are going to do next – fluencies are unconscious skills, you just “know” what to do next hands up: who learned to ride a bicycle?

Critical-thinking skills -- and fluency in multimedia production -- are integral to media literacy. Running Time: 8 min. For many students, what happens in the traditional American classroom is boring. Small wonder, when you compare such relatively inanimate stuff as pencil-and-paper-bound reading, writing, and math drills to the media mix of mind-bending imagery and hair-raising sound that consumes most of their waking hours outside school. A recent study, "Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-Year-Olds," found that students in grades 3-12 spend an average of six hours and twenty-one minutes plugged in to some type of media each day. Accounting for multitasking, the figure jumps to about eight and a half hours including nearly four hours of TV viewing and forty-nine minutes of video game play.

Comparatively, homework gets slightly less than fifty minutes of attention. Credit: Edutopia One place kids live is the multiplex, where they indulge in popcorn and eye candy. What is Media Literacy? iGeneration 08 - The Water Cube. Project Exegesis This video is aimed at talking about participatory culture, community and communication through featuring the Water Cube, which is used as a venue for the Beijing Olympics 2008. Participatory culture can be seen in three ways: through the planning phase, construction phase and lastly, during the Olympics itself. Participatory culture can be seen from paper work, manual labour, to competitions amongst athletes. This shows that the Water Cube has had large amount of participatory culture since its birth and perhaps, will continue to do so even after the Beijing Olympics is over. The Water Cube also exemplifies elements of communities since its birth. The water cube explores the notion of participatory culture from its planning phase to delivery phase and finally, its usage during the Beijing Olympics 2008.

However, these five key characteristics of participatory culture are not confined to just the planning phase as they are also relevant in the construction stage. Digitallearning.macfound.org/atf/cf/%7B7E45C7E0-A3E0-4B89-AC9C-E807E1B0AE4E%7D/JENKINS_WHITE_PAPER.PDF.
