26. Reporting on LwICT We believe: That effective integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) occurs when it is built in to day-to-day classroom practice to meet curriculum objectives and engage students in inquiry-based learning, collaboration, self-directed learning, complex thinking, and communication outside the classroom through the use of technology. Due to its nature as an integrated area of study, reporting on a student’s growth in literacy with ICT should not be reported on as a separate subject.

27. All K-8 classroom teachers are responsible for the development, assessment, and reporting of student literacy with ICT across the curriculum. Other members of the professional learning community such as resource teachers, teacher-librarians, teacher mentors, and others may be involved as required.

29. Formal written reports are to focus on the following three competencies as outlined in Manitoba Education’s Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum document:

30. critical thinking with ICT to plan and gather information

31. creative thinking with ICT to produce and communicate information

34. The use of the student friendly version of the continuum as a self-assessment tool.
