=Welcome to the Wilson Middle School Media Wiki for Common Core!=

As we plan for ways to integrate information skills and technology into the Common Core curriculum, let's pool our resources and ideas for lesson plans. I have created pages aligned with the NC Information & Technology Essential Standards.

If you think of other topics that also need pages, please let me know. Meanwhile, as you think about useful lessons or websites, please add them here; this could become a clearinghouse for our ideas.

Just click on EDIT to type your thoughts on this page or other pages and to upload files or add URL links.

Since the Common Core emphasizes that students read non-fiction text, I have included a page where we can list sources of interesting non-fiction passages. They could be paired with a novel or short fiction passage.

Since middle schoolers will have iPADs this year, I have also included pages for us to share thoughts and ideas regarding ways to incorporate QR codes into our programs and displays. And if we find excellent apps we want to share with grade teachers, we can discuss them here, too.
