Curriculum Information Technology Projects

Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia Project (IMYM)
The Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia Project (IMYM) is a curriculum-based research and development project sponsored by Manitoba Education and Youth.  This project was initiated in response to the identification of technology as a foundation skill area to be integrated throughout all Kindergarten to Senior 4 curricula (see Technology as a Foundation Skill Area:  A Jouney Toward Information Technology Literacy, 1998 [TFS]). At each grade, a theme was chosen as the context for integrating the four core subjects:  English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies with skills and competencies found within TFS. 

Curriculum Information Technology Integration Project (CITI)
The Curriculum Information Technology Integration Project was initiated to support teachers in their selection and integration of information technology in Kindergarten to Senior 4 core curricula as outlined in Technology as a Foundation Skill Area: A Journey Toward Information Technology Literacy, 1998 (TFS). Members of CITI development teams designed and developed suggestions for instruction and assessment which integrate information technology skills and competencies (found in the Information Technology Literacy Continuum contained within TFS) with identified core-curricula outcomes in Kindergarten to Grade 4 for English language arts, mathematics, and science curricula. These activities have become part of the Curriculum Navigator, an online resource.

Literacy with ICT
The TFS Model is a new initiative of Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth that builds on the framework of Technology as a Foundation Skill Area: A Journey Toward Information Technology Literacy 1998. It incorporates promising practices from the current work of
