Yesterday, I attended a Media Literacy workshop for all of my county's Media Specialists and computer reps. Discovery Channel, a Maryland based company, has sponsored the creation of Media Literacy curriculum for Maryland teachers to use to educate our students on the topic. The curriculum which was developed under the guidance of Dr. Renee Hobbs of Babson College is available on the Internet at: http://www.assignmentmedialit.com Maryland teachers are given all the accompanying materials, books, videos, snap cards etc. While these items are NOT available to you, the curriculum (which is leveled elementary, middle and high) on the Internet may help generate ideas for how you can teach media literacy. There are glossaries for each level that would be of use as well. I highly recommend that you look at this site to start your gears turning as to how you can incorporate this topic in your curriculum. 10. http://dps.bacon.durham.k12.nc.us/elementary/bean/csc.html - this site is based on the North Carolina Public Schools website for computer curriculum: http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/Curriculum/Computer.skills/ The Holy Family Parish School link given in the original message is only the first of 4 related sites: http://www.execpc.com/~hfs/Software/Curriculum.html Kindergarten to Grade 3 http://www.execpc.com/~hfs/Software/Curriculum2.html Grade 4,5 and Art http://www.execpc.com/~hfs/Software/Curriculum3.html Middle School http://www.execpc.com/~hfs/Software/Curriculum4.html Middle School Art Here are two more resources that I am using in my task of writing a K to 12 Information and Communications Technology Curriculum for a bilingual (English-Spanish) school in Colombia, South America.

The Ontario School Library Association (http://www.accessola.org/osla/) released a library curriculum in 1998, "Information Studies, Kindergarten to Grade 12" (http://www.accessola.com/action/positions/info_studies/). It is not provincially mandated but it is a good jumping off point for Ontario school libraries. The entire provincial school curriculum was revised in 1996/1997 so this ties into our Ontario Curriculum (http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/document/curricul/curricul.html) nicely. 12. http://www.selah.k12.wa.us/JHS/Gustafson/Library.cfm See Library Scope and Sequence Benchmarks. 13.
