The Profound Impact of Education Technology in the Classroom
Posted by Kim Cavanaugh under Classroom Technology, Teaching Practices | Tags: Classroom Technology, educational technology |1 Comment
At the close of the last school year we conducted a poll of our teachers asking them about their general attitude about the use of technology in their classroom, as well as the impact that certain specific programs and services have on instruction and learning. Nearly 1,000 teachers responded to our survey and the feedback was terrific!
Personally, the chart below is my favorite of all of them as it demonstrates just how critical our teachers find technology to be.
We asked other questions too of course, including this one that asked teachers how technology impacts student interest and attention.
You can see the full results of the survey at the two links below. While these results are specific to Palm Beach County Schools they are well inline with the results that other surveys produce.

From my experience, there’s a lot teachers that are afraid to ask for help. I make it a point to seek those individuals out and ask them how I can help them use technology in their classroom.
One on one instruction, during their planning time, and taking it step by step does a world of difference!
