From the Paper:

"In the report of an action Research Study, Scott Hopsicker, a social studies teacher at a New York High School and he was well liked however on 53% of his students passed the Regents exam. (NY standardized test that is required) and due to concern about his students he approached the assistant principle that then referred him to the library media specialist Bob Berkowitz. The curricular was redesigned to one that was characteristic of information based problem solving. The results were that 91% of Mr. Hopsicker's students passed the Regent exam showing 'dramatic improvement'. (Berkowitz, 2001) Ferdi Serim (2002) writes that "Technology is the Big Bank that has propelled literacy into an expanding universe....[and] The challenge to 'everyday people' to keep up with this expansion can only be met through development of a framework for Information & Communications Technology (ICT) Literacy, such as that proposed in Digital Transformation, and the resulting research based interventions.""
