General Planning Resources for ICT Integration
[|MCEETYA Schools ICT Taskforce planning pages] have a lot of reports and documents to assist schools with effective planning. Including the [|Australian National Assessment Program Information and Communication] [|Technology Literacy 2008 Years 6 and 10].

Kennett Middle School has a good publicly shared wiki which they use to develop and share their Technology Plan.

The Innovative Educator pages on Tech Planning are helpful but maybe a bit US Focused.

Planning into Practice is a [|series of pages] by a consortium in the southern states of the US. Good set out for documentation.

The International School Bangkok 21st Century Literacy wiki would appear to be quite primary focused but a good, well considered set of resources.

Bryn Jone's [|Learning Technologies Guidebook] is still full of good resources even if it is 3 years old now.

Bernajean Porter seems to have a lot of good resources linked to [|her website].

Susan Brookes-Young has [|books for sale] on many aspects of tech planning from a US perspective.

Suzie Vesper has a great wiki for ICT Lead teachers http://[|leadingict.wikispaces.com]/

The [|Queensland Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting (QCAR) Framework] is new and contains a good [|ICT scope and sequence chart].

The [|Becta Leadership and vision] site has some links to great resources.

Mark Treadwell has some good thoughts on the New Zealand "[|Conceptual Curriculum]" His book on [| Whatever!: The Revolution of School v2.0] has some interesting ideas.

[|The Florida Technology Integration Matrix (TIM)] The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments.

Tasmania Curriculum Areas by Standards http://www.education.tas.gov.au/curriculum/standards Standards state what students can do. The curriculum is organised from standard one to standard five, describing the years of schooling from Kindergarten to Year 10. Further information about standards can be accessed through each curriculum area or using the resources below. Each stage includes activities which use ICTs.
