Information, Communications Technology, and Media Literacy: The new GLE’s and CLE's
Overview
These standards will replace the former Information Literacy strand in Communication Arts and will apply to all content areas. Our students live in an environment of rapid technological change and proliferating information resources. The standards are intended to assist schools as they prepare Missouri students for life in the 21st century. Because ICTM is common to all disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of education, it has been proposed that this document become a separate content area, rather than remain a part of the Communication Arts content. This change emphasizes the important relationship of Information Literacy to all instructional content. Furthermore, the change reinforces the fact that developing competence in Information, Communications Technology, and Media Literacy is the responsibility of teachers in all subject areas.
Perhaps you haven't had an opportunity to examine the new standards. This course will provide you with that opportunity. You will have time to thoroughly analyze the GLE's or CLE's. You will begin the process of identifying those that are already integrated into your curriculum and those that will need to be added. You will share integration and lesson plan ideas with other educators. School teams are encouraged to work together, within the course, to be sure the standards are addressed throughout the school.
