Parents, teachers, kids speak up on ed tech

Article: Parents, teachers, kids speak up on ed tech Authors: Justin Appel, Assistant Editor, eSchool News Date: 2007 Journal: eSchool News Results of the fourth annual Speak Up survey reveal attitudes of students, teachers, and parents about educational technology. Among the survey's many findings: Students want to see more integration of technology into subjects such as science and math--and two-thirds of parents believe technology is underused in schools. March 22, 2007—For the second year in a row, students and teachers who responded to a national survey on educational technology expressed a strong desire for schools to focus more on the integration of technology and real-world problem solving into math and science classes. In addition, an overwhelming 97 percent of students, but just over half of teachers, say they think cell phones should be allowed in school for emergencies and for connecting with parents. The findings of the fourth annual Speak Up survey, released at a Congressional briefing in Washington, D.C., on March 21, collected ideas and views from more than 270,000 K-12 students and 21,000 teachers from all 50 states. For the first time, the survey also included parents, and some 15,000 parents took part. Participants were asked about their views on such topics as technology, math and science instruction, 21st century skills, global collaboration, communication and self-expression, and schools of the future.
