The K to the 8th Power Technology Literacy Assessment assists the teacher and lab director in determining each student's level of technology literacy. The assessment measures each student's technology literacy based on the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS*S) for Grades 6-8. The assessment has four sections of twenty-five (25) questions. Each section is correlated to one or more of the six NETS*S standards. The test results indicate the student's level of technology literacy and recommends specific lessons to address deficiencies. Recommended lessons can be assigned to individual students or groups of students.
