The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation mandates that by 2006 every eighth-grade student in the United States be proficient in technology literacy skills. 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. Developed as a collaboration between the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE(R)) and Microsoft Corp. , the assessment tool is a component of Microsoft's U.S. Partners in Learning.
