In every story there is a story line and what keeps the story line interesting is the back stories. Today we are going to tell the story of Adopting Technology into the Common Core. We are also going to tell the back stories of how students will learn best in the Common Core. These back stories will be about inflection points, and past or present paradigms of thinking. The back stories will be about thinking outside of the box for a new generation, a new generation of learners who will be asked to perform authentically while thinking abstractly. The 21st Century of Learners, "The Net Generation"

Now that leads us back to the plot of the story and its most essential question, "What is reauthorization?" Reauthorization is simply moving away from the first paradigm as we are now in a paradigm shift. A paradigm shift is discovering problems that we cannot solve which triggers a catalyst in new ways of thinking.
Thinking the Common Core way. A way to reach success for all as it is defined in college and career readiness. Yet we know that in every paradigm shift begins a new set of problems. It is the special set of problems that everyone in the field wants to be able to solve. But in the shift it becomes very complex in that no one has a clue as how to solve it. |
