The GaDOE, in response to requests from local
schools and LEAs, has developed an OPTIONAL 8th
grade Technology Literacy assessment. This
assessment is one more choice for schools to
consider when addressing the NCLB requirement to
report 8th grade tech literacy. The Georgia
Virtual School and the Office of Technology
Services, Title II-D, for the GaDOE have
collaborated to create three 60 question
assessments addressing the technology standard
requirements.

technologically literate by the time the student
finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the
student's race, ethnicity, gender, family income,
geographic location, or disability.
