This publication provides schools and school districts in Wisconsin with guidelines for collaborative planning and ideas for a unified, rather than competing, approach to the delivery of information and technology programming. The chapters cover the following topics: (1) vision and purpose; (2) the collaborative team model, including district-level leadership, school-level planning, and grade-/subject-level collaboration; (3) improving student learning, including steps to an effective learning system, assessment and evaluation, and curriculum and instruction; (4) information and technology staffing, including roles and responsibilities, and staffing patterns and guidelines; (5) facilities and facilities planning, including library media center guidelines; (6) resources and tools for learning, including access, selection, Internet policies, and maintaining a collection; and (7) staff development and professional growth, including the role of the district information and technology team, the role of the school library media and technology team, and the role of teaching and learning teams. Several worksheets, checklists, and other planning documents are appended. A glossary is included. (Contains 50 references.) (MES).

Responding to an initiative in the university's revised core curriculum to address life-long learning skills, a collaborative effort involving parties from the Library and Information Technologies was formed resulting in a program for faculty entitled "Information Literacy and Technology Across the Curriculum." The purpose of the program, which consists of a semester-long series of workshops, is to assist faculty in the development of class assignments and projects for their students that utilize both information literacy and technology skills. After a successful pilot run involving volunteer faculty members, the program is now designed to accommodate approximately fifteen faculty members for the semester sessions. This paper will describe the format of the program, the resources made available, the exercises employed and some surprising results. [For complete proceedings, see ED490093.].

The volume includes a set of selected papers extended and revised from the 2011 International Conference on Computers and Advanced Technology in Education. With the development of computers and advanced technology, the human social activities are changing basically. Education, especially the education reforms in different countries, has been experiencing the great help from the computers and advanced technology. Generally speaking, education is a field which needs more information, while the computers, advanced technology and internet are a good information provider. Also, with the aid of the computer and advanced technology, persons can make the education an effective combination. Therefore, computers and advanced technology should be regarded as an important media in the modern education. Volume Advanced Information Technology in Education is to provide a forum for researchers, educators, engineers, and government officials involved in the general areas of computers and advanced technology in education to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on the future research directions of these fields.

With this versatile title, students are educated, hands-on, about the many roles information technology can play in their quest for knowledge. Brainstorming, strategizing, writing, critiquing, and oral communication skills are strengthened through collaborative problem-solving projects. The research problems presented in each chapter integrate many curriculum areas. Students walk away from each completed task with a greater ability to ask the right questions and locate the best, most accurate, and timely answers.

The authors assert that generic, rather than application-specific, knowledge and skills should be the focus of computer literacy. Furthermore, they contend that this holds true for individuals in their roles as everyday citizens in an information society, and as job holders in a highly technologized workplace.

The 2001 Australian Information literacy standards state that information technology (IT) literacy or fluency requires more intellectual abilities than the software and hardware knowledge associated with computer literacy, but that the focus is still on the technology. Information literacy (IL), however, is an intellectual framework developed since the mid 1970s for recognising the need for, understanding or, finding, evaluating and using information. This may be supported in part by IT or eLiteracy, in part by sound investigative methods, but more significantly through critical discernment and reasoning. eLiteracy, however it is defined, should therefore be contextualised within the IL framework, not apart from it.
