Common Core Standards

Grade 8

Writing W.8.6

Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and present the relationships between information and ideas efficiently as well as to interact and collaborate with others.

This Common Core Standard basically asks students to write stuff on their computers, either by themselves or with others. That's really it—the whole thing about presenting "relationships between information and ideas efficiently" basically just says that students should be able to write stuff that clearly connects multiple ideas or pieces of information together, just like they would in any ol' essay. Think of it this way: standard essay-writing + the computer/Internet = this standard. Easy peasy, right?
