Getting to Know the Standards....
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.3
This is a standard that we work on, quite literally, every day. The students in our computer lab are planning, creating, saving their work, loading it into a virtual backpack in Edmodo, retrieving it, editing it, saving it under a new name (are you tired yet?), and finally, posting their work to me on Edmodo. I have been so impressed with their ability to do all of these things so readily, and without complaints. This is what this standard might look like in a typical science class.
