Several BPS students, who participated in the Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) program this year, showed their final work today at the Adobe Youth Voices Showcase 2013. The event took place at Northeastern University’s Fenway Center.
AYV is a partnership between the Boston Public Schools Office of Instructional and Information Technology (OIIT) - TechBoston unit, the BPS Career and Technical Education, Arts Department and Adobe Youth Voices. The program is designed to empower students to express themselves and constructively comment on the world around them by using digital tools to create media with a meaningful purpose.
Boston Public Schools Technology
The mission of the Office of Instructional & Information Technology (OIIT) is to provide the technology foundation, vision, leadership, and support for the members of the Boston Public Schools community in the use of technology as a tool to achieve its academic and operational goals to increase student performance and close the achievement gap.
