Lessons that leverage technology and more

Common Sense Media (which you may know from their digital citizenship modules, or for their reviews of media for young people) also has a large educational section with lots of content on issues like technology's role in formative assessment or digital distractions for students, and a place where teachers can search for and share tech-infused lesson plans in a variety of subjects. For instance, there is an interesting section with video, infographics, downloads and app recommendations for setting up and managing your classroom for device use.

The shared lesson plan structure is also very user-friendly, both for finding already-existing material created by other teachers, or for sharing your own. Here's an example of an interactive lesson about the Electoral College and one about current events and social media using KQED's online platform. It's definitely worth a few minutes to explore!
