Literacy with ICT is NOT a curriculum -

• since ICT is not a separate subject in K-8, the
  continuum of Literacy with ICT is designed to be
  congruent and integrated with existing big ideas
  in core curricular areas

• since the emphasis in K-8 is on curricular
  content, the role of ICT is to support student
  learning in English language arts, mathematics,
  science, and social studies

• since the focus is on what students can do, any
  learner can find his/herself on a continuum, from
  pre-K students to seniors, from novices to
  experts, regardless of their grade level
