NCTE Framework for 21st Century Curriculum and Assessment National Council of Teachers of English in Illinois. I particularly like their definition of Literacies. “Literacy has always been a collection of cultural and communicative practices shared among members of particular groups.

I found this particularly useful in our Unit in Technology, small adaptations can be made to fit the units with most of this framework. However there is much to do to make the units fit in more completely.
Interesting look at the Networked Student
