It time to get real about all of this. I've just jumped into this resource, and I need to look around. But I'm thrilled to hear that someone else has looked at the Commoan Core standards and found one of the strands that I see there too. (It's interesting how the Common Core are an ink blot: it seems that people can find almost anything they want to there. Anyway...) If people are seeing Common Core as expecting more work with digital wriitng, I'm on board.
While there are a handful of standards that explicitly call for technology use and certainly open the door to wonderful possibilities, like many of the work here, it seems to me that there is little language that truly invites or encourages this kind of creative and innovative work. I get concerned that the standards will be read with an interpretive lens that is too narrow. Any thoughts?

Keep it real!

It's all in the interpretation...
