From Common Core to Global Standards, Is the USA lagging behind?

Technology in education, learning through gaming, and interactive curricula are changing the way students are learning. The growing wealth of Open Educational Resources and the movement away from text books make it possible to develop high quality learning modules that address individual learning styles at very little cost.

When K12 Next Generation decided to form a "virtual supervisory union", it was with the idea that "if we build it, they will come." We would create a global umbrella to unite many solutions and approaches. Together, we can create a stronger, more creative, diverse, far-reaching, curriculum continuum with multiple approaches to reach all learning styles. We would, in fact, form a global organization pooling their resources in order to design a meaningful curriculum for our global learners.

We are the 21st century, where there are far more similarities among all of us than there are differences. United, we can make a world of difference.  

(This is part of a paper I wrote to address this issue.  We have representation from 5 countries to date and growing.  If you'd like more information I'd be happy to send it to you.
