The first thing I noticed when I went to Common Sense Media was how many resources there were for educators. On the homepage for Common Sense Education, there are three main points/links they have at your disposal.
- The first is called "Common Sense Graphite". Common Sense Graphite, finds the best websites, apps, and games rated for learning and has them mapped to common core standards.
- The second is called "Digital Citizenship" and it's whole purpose is to allow you to download the entire K-12 curriculum from iTunes as iBook textbooks for FREE.
- The final link is called "Digital Passport". The Digital Passport allows you to join an "exemplary group" of educators that have learned to integrate technology effectively in their own classrooms.
There is also a section on the homepage dedicated to The Common Sense Education Blog. When I viewed the homepage there were four blog entries to lure me in. Act Fast: How to Make an Awesome Digital Life, Build Community: Teach Digital Citzenship in Edmodo, How Can Parents Help Their Kids Make Great Choices in Their Digital Lives?, and Teach and Learn the Web with Maker Party.
After playing around on Common Sense Media, I feel as though this website is a great resource for any educator or education student to have at their disposal. There are so many different links that could help make teaching easier, or inspire many different ideas to make the learning and teaching process that much more enjoyable.
