Historians see problems in history; students see answers: literacy in history
I love the start of school! Everyone is excited. New materials have been unboxed. Some might have new technology gadgets such as iPads or updated computers to experiment with in their classrooms. Teachers have learned new strategies that they want to try. And with the coming of the Common Core, many of you are busy figuring out just exactly how to implement them in your classroom.
Pixar's 20+ Rules on Storytelling for Teachers and Students
A week ago I posted here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning a poster made by Pixar in which they featured 22 rules on storytelling and it was really so informative reading all the feedback you sent me , however, today I woke up to an email from a colleague of mine teaching in the State in which he shared with me the graphic below. I was really surprised because at the time I published the first poster on Pixar rules of storytelling I did not know that such a graphic exists and going through it I found it way better than the one I initially posted earlier . I mean better in terms of layout and organization of its content. Have a look at it below and let us know what you think of it. Enjoy

Common Core and the Arts
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is a state-led initiative to ensure that students leave school with the knowledge and skills required to succeed in college and in their careers. The resulting changes to the expectations of arts educators can be profound. AEP is providing this (ever-growing) selection of resources to help AEP Partner Organizations, arts educators, school leaders, and policymakers develop a better understanding of the Common Core and what the movement means for the arts.

A Non-Freaked Out, Focused Approach to the Common Core
CCSS Implementation Tip: When folks start to freak out about the CCSS, go to the Grand Canyon. (That’s me on the left.)
