In our technology-driven, globally diverse world,  students are 
consuming and producing many forms of electronic media. How  do we 
develop teaching strategies for the 21st Century classroom given  
changing ideas about literacy? This course is designed for K-12  
educators looking to integrate an array of current digital technology  
skills with core academic subjects. The state of Maine has joined the  
National Partnership for 21st Century Skills (see  <a href="http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/">http://www.21stcenturyskills.org</a>) and advocates the infusion of these  skills into K-12 learning.<br><br clear="all">Alice Barr<br>
