Nancy,
How are you thinking that computers (and the associated
communications technology that goes with them) will be "used" within
the classroom?
IMHO, this will determine (or help to shape) your plans for cross
curriculum use. For example, some schools are using computers for
individual use - students use them just like other library media
resources. Other schools are using them as a means of connecting
students, teachers, and classrooms to the wider community - experts
in the field, students in Japan, etc.
There are ways of incorporating technology into any K-12 curriculum,
but first you must consider "how" you want to use technology. Some
ideas:
1) As tools for students to "amplify" their cognitive development
2) As communication/publication media for students to broaden their
community
3) As instructional delivery for students with special needs to get
special attention
4) As replacements/extensions to traditional media
etc.
Good luck!
