The school I teach at uses these California Common Core State Standards for the 21st Century. The standards listed below are what I used for this Capstone project. Reading standards and ISTE standards were the most prominent used alongside the TPACK model for lesson design. 
ISTE standards were used regularly in Teaching Technology Tuesday, Steps to Advance Benchmarks Language Arts Curriculum, and Science lessons.

California has adopted Common Core State Standards along with many other states in the country. California also uses 21st Century Skills to practice and teach through the state curriculum to prepare students for what companies and future employers are looking for.

Reading Content Standards AddressedThe Reading Literacy content standards were the most hard hit standards in the curriculum used in this research. I used these reading standards and embedded technology tools within the lessons to create an extra layer of innovative learning at least once a week. They worked in pairs, with me in small groups, literacy circles, readers theater, they created their own stories and plays. When they were learning vocabulary we play Quizlet and when we compared and contrasted literature components we used digital tools for a more visual component on the Epson projector. Students made Google Slides to describe parts of a story like character and setting. When students practiced writing dynamic sentences and the concept on beginning, middle and end we used Emoji Generator.
