READING, WRITING, AND THINKING: CROSS-
CURRICULAR LITERACY INITIATIVES
By Tara Smith
Innovative educators know that students preparing for the
challenges of work and further study in our ever-changing
world need to achieve fluency and comprehension—but
they also need to develop higher-level thinking skills and
build deep knowledge. The following schools and districts
are using edtech tools to integrate literacy skills across the
curricula.

HAPPY NEW

t appears that students are still top of mind for the two most
influential technologists and philanthropists of our time. Last
month, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $12
million to code.org. Said Gates: “The role of philanthropy here
is not to be the primary funder, but rather to fund pilots, to fund
new ideas, to let people — it’s always the educators coming up
with the ideas — to let them try them out and see what really works
super well and get those to scale.” And in a letter posted last week
to, yes, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg detailed the plans of the Chan
Zuckerberg Initiative: “One challenge we’ve seen in education
is that there are many brilliant teachers and school leaders who
create new kinds of schools based on new models of learning — but those schools usually only
serve hundreds of students, while most children still do not have access to them…Our hope is that
technology can help with this scaling challenge.”
