Article: ISTE and Microsoft Team Up to Provide Online Assessments of Technology Literacy in Middle Schoolers.

To help teachers monitor student progress and meet the requirements, an innovative new online tool to assess the technology literacy of middle school students will make its debut during a demonstration* at the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) in New Orleans on Saturday, June 19, 2004.
