How Teachers Use Technology: Pew Research

The Pew Research Center released an interesting study about how teachers use technology professionally and in the classroom. It shows that while teachers use technology extensively, they "are hampered by disparities in student access to digital technologies." Here's what teachers say about the impact of technology on their teaching: (I am quoting directly form the site below)

  • 92% of these teachers say the internet has a “major impact” on their ability to access content, resources, and materials for their teaching 
  • 69% say the internet has a “major impact” on their ability to share ideas with other teachers 
  • 67% say the internet has a “major impact” on their ability to interact with parents and
  • 57% say it has had such an impact on enabling their interaction with students
