I've been looking for the research to show that when districts use MS Office as the main criteria for determining tech proficiency (as part of high school grad requirement), they're not really embracing 21st century definitions for literacy. With that discussion/argument in mind, I've highlighted "PBL is an ideal match for fostering and assessing technological literacy because with true PBL, the project is the curriculum and the assessment." And congratulations on the recognition that "TechYES by Generation YES shines as an exemplary approach to the development and assessment of technological literacy"!
