The Literacy with ICT Continuum

What is a Developmental Learning Continuum?

A developmental learning continuum is an assessment tool based on teacher observations. It describes what teachers see and hear students doing, as they demonstrate their literacy. Many teachers already use continuums for assessing learning in reading, writing and numeracy.

What is the Developmental Continuum for Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum?

The Developmental Continuum for Literacy with ICT paints a picture of how students develop their critical and creative thinking, in curricular context as they use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically.

Why Develop a Continuum?

• The Developmental Continuum for Literacy with ICT is congruent with and infused with existing concepts across the curriculum; ICT is not a separate “curriculum” in K–12,
• the focus is on what students can do; learners of any age are able to find themselves on the continuum, from novices to experts, from pre-K students to Senior Years students and beyond.
• continuums are focused on the student; the Developmental Continuum for Literacy with ICT provides a vehicle for students to self-assess and set goals for their learning.

What are the Health and Safety Guidelines and Ethics and Responsibilities Guidelines?

The Health and Safety Guidelines and the Ethics and Responsibilities Guidelines are guidelines to be used as a foundation to learning and also infused throughout the learning process.

What is the Literacy with ICT Model?

The Literacy with ICT Model (LwICT Model) is a visual representation of the relationship between the Developmental Continuum for Literacy with ICT and the Health and Safety Guidelines and the Ethics and Responsibilities Guidelines.
