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
