Activity:

You are asked by your principal to run a workshop on Superintendent's Conference Day discussing the updates to the [|NYS Learning Standards] and the [|Common Core State Standard Initiative]. Using a combination of our wiki and the web-based presentation program [|Prezi], create and embed a 15 minute presentation into an informational wiki that will address the following:
 * What are the key components associated with each of the initiatives listed above?
 * Within each initiative, what are students expected to learn and how are they expected to learn it? What defines student success and how is it assessed?

Within your wiki, be sure to include informational links to web sites, web-based articles, or link to pdf files. You may included related video content or images.

For next time...

Create a collaborative environment on one team member's wiki. Collect information, videos, links etc on the wiki and then once complete, use this collection to create your prezi. Once your prezi is complete, place the link or embed the presentation back on the wiki.
