Well, it’s been a quiet summer here on the Generation YES blog, but I can assure you, that’s because there’s been big things happening under the surface!
First and foremost - the GenYES tools and curriculum have undergone a MAJOR upgrade. That’s good news for all our veteran GenYES schools because they now have access to cool new tools for student tech support teams for FREE!
All GenYES schools have permanent licenses for the online tools and curriculum. We know the challenges of sustaining a good student program and we want to make this road as smooth as possible!
The new GenYES has a slick new interface that helps GenYES students plan classroom projects (called Technology Assistance Projects - TAPs) for any teacher in their school. GenYES teachers can easily manage their student tech team, assign students to projects, and monitor progress. As GenYES students become experts in school technology, their personal GenYES profile updates with their new tech skills.
The new GenYES system was designed with the help of the GenYES students at Shadow Mountain High School in Paradise Valley, Arizona. (More about that shortly!)
We try to walk the talk of student voice and student empowerment whenever possible!
