Numbers-wise, what is the greatest reservoir of technological expertise in every school? It’s not the teachers! It is the students.
Generation Yes (http://genyes.com) is a worldwide project based in the Pacific Northwest of the United States with the goal of empowering students to learn digital literacy skills, and also help adults (digital immigrants and perhaps even some self-professed digital foreigners) to learn these skills too.
I heard about the Generation Yes project from other educators attending the TechForum in Austin last week. Great project, and well worth checking out! They have certification programs for students in grades 6-9 that you can implement in your own school system (TechYes) and a successful model for using students in technical support roles (GenerationTech). Check out these ideas and resources!
