The document describes an 8th grade technology proficiency project conducted by the Morristown Central School District. It discusses the formation of a technology committee to develop a proficiency test for 8th grade students. The test consisted of three parts - a 70 question multiple choice section, a business letter activity using word processing skills, and a planet project assessing additional skills. Results found the average score to be 46% and identified gaps in students' technology preparation. The district concluded that technology instruction needs to begin earlier and be better coordinated across grades to improve proficiency.
