Easy to use tool for teachers to access the Common core standards.

The app is easy to use, but is not exciting for your average student. Integrating the app into lesson activities becomes easier for the teacher as long as the educator can back away and let the students take more ownership of their learning process. A tool for students to self-assess and make them aware of their learning responsibilities.

Overall I think the app is super useful. I remember recently moderating a panel and whipping out my phone to help further the discourse... I remember an audience member saying that the CCSS were not beneficial and were not made to help kids. However, she couldn't think of a standard as an example. So, I took out my phone and read her a few of the ELA standards. I believe she changed her point of view after hearing the standards. I also think she downloaded the app!

I like the tool for my personal use but not for the students to use because they weren't very interested in it. It good for teachers because the standards are right at you finger tips.
