This year at ISTE, I had the opportunity to sit with several great folks Google Expeditions  This year at ISTE, I had the privilege of learning about how Pearson is partnering with Google Expeditions to create immersive virtual worlds where students can visit real environments far beyond the boarders of their school district or country.  I had the opportunity of visiting the London Transport Museum and with the help of their new applications that harness the power of Google Cardboard was completely blown away by what todays technology can bring to the classrooms.

By combining these two types of measures, aimswebPlus provides the data that schools need for program planning and evaluation and for tiered assessment (multi-tiered system of supports [MTSS], also known as response to intervention [RTI]). Furthermore, aimswebPlus data provides teachers with the information needed to differentiate instruction and determine who will benefit from intensive intervention."
