RR#4: Think Aloud meets ISTE-NETS

In accordance with the ISTE-Nets standards for students and teachers I believe 1.) Facilitate and Inspire student learning and creativity best aligns with my ThinkAloud project. This standard promotes student exploration, growth and reflection in various areas of study. My ThinkAloud project deals with the Common Core Standards and how they have been portrayed in recent political discussion. The Common Core Standards were created to provide equality within the school systems across the country. It is believed by many that by providing equality on such a wide scale students will become more confident and successful. Standard number 1 of the ISTE-Nets standards relates to my project through creativity and self exploration. Common Core allows students to become more independent, while standard 1 promotes creativity and growth. When speaking of technology I believe these two topics relate because of the sources made available to advance in them rapidly.
