Educational Technology

By Dian Schaffhauser, THE Journal
Teacher confidence in the use of technology is rising incrementally. Some 99 percent of teachers and school leaders in a recent survey reported that they’re using digital technology in their classrooms. And nearly as many (96 percent) said they’ve seen benefits from its use. The survey was conducted among 1,281 teachers on behalf of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt by public opinion survey company YouGov. The goal of the survey was fourfold: to understand where educators are feeling both optimistic and concerned about the state of their profession, how they use technology and what they perceive as its impact, what kind of professional development they get to prepare them for the use of digital learning resources and how equity is playing out across districts with and without sizable achievement gaps.
