Incorporating technology into a lesson adds a new dimension to teaching strategies, engages the learner, and builds 21^st century skills. Students generally respond enthusiastically to the bells and whistles technology offers. The task the teacher faces is designing lessons that use the bells and whistles to effectively deliver the content as prescribed by the academic content standards.

Creating a standards-based, technology-integrated lesson requires knowledge of the standards, content area knowledge, pedagogy knowledge, and technology skills. Crafting the lesson requires blending the knowledge and skills so that the technology supports the teaching and learning of the content.

In this section of COR, you'll find links to academic content standards and technology standards for students and teachers, as well as resources that explore the development of standards-based technology-integrated lessons. You'll also find a tool to browse COR resources aligned and linked to the text of the Ohio Baseline Standards Framework and Performance Indicators.
