3 Research Purpose & Methodology Purpose The purpose of this research is to better understand the use of technology in the classroom and how technology can enrich the classroom experience by meeting the needs and expectations of teachers. Areas of investigation include: Identifying ways technologies enriches the classroom experience Levels of satisfaction and frustration with technology currently available in the classroom Most important roles for technology to play in the classroom Elements needed to achieve the dream classroom, and Technologies used in the classroom today Methodology This research was conducted online among a random sample of 400 teachers, split evenly between middle school teachers (grades 6-8) and high school teachers (grades 9-12). In order to qualify for the research, respondents must have been teachers who primarily teach in grades 6 th through 8 th or 9 th through 12 th. Fieldwork was conducted by Market Intel Group between March 14 and March 21, The margin of error associated with the sample of n=400 is +/- 4.9% at a 95% confidence level. A profile of survey participants is included in the appendix to this report. Page 3

5 Executive Summary Majority of teachers believe that technology enriches the classroom experience, especially by creating more opportunities for research projects and enabling students to learn better through a combination of direct instruction from teachers and learning on their own via online resources. According to teachers, the top three most important roles technology should play in the classroom are, in rank order: providing a variety of learning tools or modalities, making the learning experience more engaging, and diversifying the learning experience. Just over one-half of teachers describe the technology used in their classrooms as being very current and up-to-date. Another four-in-ten consider their technology to be a little behind the times. Only 16% of teachers give their school an A grade for integrating technology into the classroom; over one-half grade their school with a B. According to teachers, the key elements needed to help achieve their dream classroom are, in rank order: more time in the school day to plan, research and collaborate, new and different strategies to engage students, such as blended learning, and better/more technology in the classroom. A majority of teachers are satisfied with the role technology is playing in the classroom and with how well technology in their classrooms help facilitate learning; however, most are only somewhat satisfied. Page 5
6 Executive Summary (continued) While a number of frustrations with technology in the classroom were expressed, not having sufficient time to incorporate technology into the classroom is the greatest frustration (particularly for 9 th to 12 th grade teachers). Less than half of teachers feel the technology available in their classrooms is definitely helping them achieve their teaching objectives; a slightly larger proportion considers classroom technology to be only somewhat helpful. Internet access is the top technology used in the classroom. However, according to teachers, laptops or Chromebooks are the most effective technology used in the classroom overall. Students not having access to technology at home does impact teachers and their ability to incorporate technology and online assignments into homework. However, the vast majority of teachers agree that technology provides a greater ability to teachers to tailor lessons and homework assignments to the individual needs of each student. On average, teachers spend 10 hours per typical school day on school related work and activities with one-third of their time spent performing administrative tasks. If teachers had more time in the school day, the top areas they would focus on are helping students who are struggling, creative lesson development, and tailoring lessons to students. Page 6

8 Ways Technology Enriches Classroom Experience Over 70% of teachers feel that technology enriches the classroom experience by creating more opportunities for research projects and students learn better through a combination of direct instruction and learning on their own via online resources. 6 th through 8 th grade teachers are more likely to feel that students respond better to more technology and that online games and puzzles make learning fun. A higher percentage of teachers in suburban and rural-based schools than urban-based teachers cite numerous ways technology enriches the classroom experience. Grade Taught School Location Creates more opportunities for research projects Students learn better through a combination of direct instruction and learning on their own Ability to personalize learning for each student Internet access creates more cross-curricular activities Students respond better with more technology used Online games and puzzles makes learning fun Makes teachers more productive Better engagement between students and teacher Results in better independent study Students prefer online materials 73% 71% 67% 64% 61% 60% 57% 52% 49% 45% 6 th 8 th 9 th -12 th Urban Suburban Rural 74% 72% 69% 76% 70% 76% 67% 62% 75% 76% 69% 64% 68% 67% 64% 62% 65% 56% 68% 63% 66% 55% 59% 61% 63% 65% 55% 57% 60% 66% 54% 60% 58% 53% 65% 51% 53% 54% 53% 46% 47% 51% 48% 53% 39% 49% 41% 42% 49% 40% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% Q.1 Which of the following do you think are ways technology (hardware, software, Internet access, etc.) enriches the classroom experience?

23 Familiarity and Usage of Blended Learning Seven-in-ten teachers (71%) are very or somewhat familiar with the concept of blended learning; however, most are only somewhat familiar. When prompted with a definition of blended learning (students learn using a combination of direct instruction from teachers and learning on their own using online solutions), just over onehalf of teachers (51%) indicate they are currently using blended learning. Of those teachers who do use blended learning, only half (50%) feel they were effectively trained to teach in a blended learning setting. Familiarity with Blended Learning Usage of Blended Learning Effectively Trained in Blended Learning 21% 8% Very familiar 17% 54% Somewhat familiar Not too familiar Not at all familiar 43% 6% 51% Yes No Don't know 46% 4% 50% Yes No Don't know Q.19 How familiar are you with the concept of blended learning? (n=413) Q.20 With blended learning, students learn using a combination of direct instruction from teachers as well as on their own using online learning solutions. Does your school currently use blended learning? (n=413) Q.21 Do you feel that you were effectively trained to teach in a blended learning setting? (n=209) Page 23
24 Usage of Online Resources for Testing When asked about the usage of digital and online resources for the creation, administration, and scoring of tests, less than one-half of teachers are currently using these resources in the testing process. The most popular current use of online resources (at 45%) is for the creation of tests instead of the teachers creating them on their own. Roughly three-in-ten indicate that, in the future, they are likely to use digital and online resources for the creation, administration, and scoring of tests. % Currently/Likely To Currently/Likely = 72% Grade Taught Technology Grade 6 th 8 th 9 th -12 th A B C/Less Administering digital/online tests instead of paper tests 40% 32% 24% 4% 78% 67% 82% 74% 64% Currently/Likely = 71% Using an online resource to create tests for you over creating your own tests 45% 26% 24% 5% 74% 69% 77% 75% 62% Currently/Likely = 65% Having tests auto-scored online as opposed to grading tests by hand yourself 33% 32% 32% 3% 66% 63% 78% 66% 55% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Currently doing this Likely to do in the near future Don't expect to be doing this in the near future Not sure Q.22a/b/c Are you currently or, in the near future, doing any of the following?
