How does TechYES Science solve the problem?
TechYES is a Student Technology Literacy Certification designed to introduce students to technology and information literacy through science projects. TechYES Science can be part of any middle school science class, and meet two needs at once. The completed TechYES Science projects are assessed both for science content and technology use. TechYES is correlated to the ISTE NETs standards for students and meets the NCLB 8th grade technology literacy mandate. By recruiting a group of students to act as TechYES Peer Mentors, TechYES Science can expand the opportunities for all students and help all science teachers bring more technology into their lessons. With TechYES Science, science teachers can focus on their science lessons, and do not have to teach or assess technology.
