the Common Core standards are based on college and career readiness standards. The Common Core:
Focus to a greater extent on text complexity and drawing information from sourcesAs I interpret this, students now have to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different text sources (including digital) and comprehend information that comes from media as well as text.
Address reading and writing across the curriculumThere’s reading in science as well as reading in language arts. All disciplines require writing
Where’s the technology?Technology is a tool rather than a set of isolated standards. I like this. The Common Core speaks generally about students choosing a variety of texts (including digital) and publishing writing in a variety of formats including digital.
