While the Common Core State Standards focus on math and English language arts, they also emphasize technology as a way to learn knowledge and skills in these areas. On Wednesday, the state-led standards initiative published its recommendations, and states now will consider whether they want to adopt these standards or keep their own. Basic technology skills will allow students to succeed in college and careers, said Chris Minnich, director of standards and assessments for the Council of Chief State School Officers, which coordinated the standards initiative along with the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices. That’s why technology should be integrated into academics instead of taught separately.
