This resource was produced in response to a request: "What are states in the southeastern region using as assessment tools for No Child Left Behind (NCLB) eighth-grade technology literacy?" In response to this request, the Southeast Comprehensive Center (SECC) queried state departments of education (SDE) in the southeastern region by e-mail and telephone. The SECC also searched various Web sites for information on technology literacy assessment for  eighth-grade students. The first section of the response contains a synopsis of the findings on the topic. It is followed by a table of the state information that was collected in response to this query. The final section contains a list of resources and references that offer additional information on technology literacy assessment.
