The Standard
Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts · College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Writing
What This Standard Means
Students need to use digital tools to draft, revise, publish, share, and respond to writing. They should know how to type or compose, add basic formatting, save work, use comments or replies, and work with partners online in a safe, purposeful way.
Mastery looks like a student choosing the right tool for the task, sharing work correctly, using feedback to improve a piece, and giving useful feedback to others. Students often get stuck on file management, shallow comments like “good job,” messy formatting, or treating online collaboration like casual chat.
Ways to Teach It
- Have students draft one paragraph in a shared document, then use the comment tool to suggest one specific revision to a partner.
- Prompt students to write: How did technology help your writing today, and what problem did it create?
- Check each student’s document for a clear title, correct sharing settings, one revision, and one useful comment.
- Show students a class blog, newspaper site, or author webpage, then compare how digital publishing changes the audience.
