This blog post on the Official SketchUp Blog shows how a program called Project Spectrum helps autistic students use Google SketchUp to change their learning.

People with autism tend to be unusually strong visual and spatial thinkers, and it became clear that SketchUp plays to those strengths. With that bit of information (and help from the Autism Society of Boulder County), we launched Project Spectrum with a single goal: connecting the autism community with SketchUp.

Atomic Learning gives the Curriculum Director resources to quickly find examples of how technology can support different subject areas and plan and implement Common Core State Standards. Through the use of Classroom ready projects, teachers learn to effectively integrate technology in the classroom, empowering them with forward-thinking training to prepare students for 21st Century careers. These resources can be used as basis for, or to augment, training sessions.

A recent Tech&Learning article entitled "Where’s the Tech in the Common Core?" discussed with industry experts insight about how technology will be used to both leverage and manage the delivery of curriculum that meets Common Core standards. Did you know:

Many of the Common Core State Standards identify technology as a key component to achieve the objectives embedded within the standards.

At Atomic Learning, we know and share your passion for creating tech embedded classrooms. And we also know that districts are struggling to figure all these standards out. That's why we developed the Atomic TechCore solution, a set of collaborative planning tools that assist school leaders in building and executing a solid Common Core implementation roadmap.
