How the Program Works

Your school will designate a Gen Yes teacher who will work with a group of 25 students for a year who have an interest in instructional technology. This teacher will act as a mentor and coordinator of projects between the Gen Yes student and the partner teacher.

Students will work with a teacher who in your school who will be a partner in creating a Gen Yes technology project. The Gen Yes teacher, partner teachers and students will have an online environment and curriculum guides that will assist in designing, monitoring and evaluating student progress around the project.

In the online environment the LHRIC and Gen Yes consultants will give electronic feedback to each student and partner teacher. This consultant will offer suggestions and ideas about the project.

Electronic surveys will be collected at the end of each technology project. Projects will also be reviewed by Gen Yes and LHRIC consultants. Some projects will be selected to be highlighted in the Gen Yes Electronic Portfolio website.
