Iron Teacher is a contest based on fun but with serious intent; bringing together cutting edge educators with sharp ideas to infuse new life into traditional lesson design. We aim to revolutionize the way teachers look at teaching and learning through the use of innovative methods and unconventional ideas. Basic Premise: Like Iron Chef, participants are presented with key "ingredients" and required to come up with a final product that is judged on Originality, Adaptability, Student Appeal, and Ability to Meet Outcome. The Iron Teacher goal is two-fold: 1. To help teachers discover new strategies, ideas, or tools that will get their students to care, communicate and create something of value around the curriculum. 2. To help articulate the lesson design and creative brainstorming process used by master educators.

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.
