Also available through bigchalk is Generation www.Y, a professional development program in which teachers and students work together to bring technology into the curriculum. The program consists of a semester-long class in which teachers and students partner to create a technologically based lesson plan or develop a project aligned to district or state curriculum standards. Its goal is to help teachers gain the knowledge to use technology in the classroom, and to help students gain technology proficiency and teamwork skills.
