Technology Surveys

Survey and research data can be informative and helpful in planning for technology to support students and staff. Here are some sources of data that may be used for some of our technology planning and discussions.
International, National or Regional Data Results

Project Tomorrow produces reports and flyers summarizing the findings. The 1-page infographics are quite informative and provide a good starting place for technology discussions.Ed Tech Next, Driving K-12 Innovation: https://cosn.org/advancement/edtechnext-reports
