    A Foundation for Thriving in the 21st Century with the Power of Digital Literacy

    Each of the 3 major steps in problem processing is made of its own processes as shown in the model above. Problem finding requires a questioning mind that seeks contributions towards solutions. Problem framing leads to rewording and sometimes reconceptualizing a question so that concrete steps can more easily be taken towards the answer. Problem solving requires a series of steps, LEAP that all need attention but are not necessarily sequential. Is it really so linear as the green arrows imply? Not in my experience. What should you be able to do from this second level of the model? You should be able to visualize the third level. To test your knowledge, click the model above.
