The Generation YES program provides schools
with the necessary curriculum in setting up a student
technology program that will provide ongoing
technology support to teachers & administrators
in their schools. Students work along side a
trained Gen Yes teacher in completing a technology
project but more importantly learn the skills
needed to lead a project from start to finish. |
About Generation Y
Students learn technology skills with
an emphasis on applying these skills to
a real-world problem: helping teachers
use technology to deliver more effective
lessons.
Students use tools such as:
- email
- presentations
- Internet & digital imagery
to enhance lesson plans and curriculum
units.
