The main MECY document we will be working with in class is "A Continuum Model for Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum". The Full Document (2.1 MB) is available as a PDF download. There are also a number of related online resources including:
You may also require additinal subject area curricula for your lesson plan assignment, which can be found on the MECY K-12 Curriculum website.

The following peer-reviewed journal articles explore the theme of technology in the classroom from a variety of perspectives. While not all of these articles are required reading, you are encouraged to spend some time exploring them. The articles have been loosely organized according to topics being explored in this course; however, they may (and probably will) address more than just one area or topic.
You may use these articles as a research base for your final paper. You may also use other recent peer-reviewed journal articles, but doing so is not required.
These are also the articles that you will choose from in your seminar groups. Again, other articles can be used, but it is not necessary.
