Technology is an integral part of the Common Core Standards. For teachers without access to a tablet, who want to use technology with an interactive whiteboard, the following are sites to achieve the standards for a particular grade.
Grades K-3
Fuel The Brain- This free site has some teacher resources for the Common Core Standards for writing, numbers and operations and measurement and data. Teachers can also print worksheets and have students interact with “games” that align to the Common Core. The highlight to this site is the ability for students to create their own mini books. Students can write fiction or non-fiction books that can add the title and author and content.
