Welcome to the ICT Literacy Toolkit!
In July 2005, a new set of ICT Literacy
standards took effect in New Hampshire. Thus began a
multi-year change process in our schools designed to
ensure that our students learn 21st century skills.
The
information within this toolkit was gathered over the
past few years from national, regional, and local sources.
Materials used to be in three different sections of this
website. We hope you will find that topics and resources
are now more organized and easier to locate. Use the
menu at left to browse through the pages and get acquainted
with what's here.
This toolkit is a work-in-progress, just
like the implementation of these standards. Here's a
timeline for you to see our statewide progress:

US GROW THE RESOURCES IN THIS TOOLKIT! Does
your school or district have some ICT Literacy
Program materials that other schools might
find useful? Send an email to chiggins @
ed.state.nh.us with your materials attached.
And THANK YOU to those districts
who have already given their generous permission
for materials to be shared here! Please note
that these materials have not been through
a formal review process for alignment to
the new ICT standards. Since each district's
ICT program is at a different stage of development,
some materials may be more useful to your
district than others. |
