  • More than three-quarters of educators surveyed  said they use computers for administrative tasks daily, and about half said they  use them to communicate with other educators daily. But only 40 percent reported  using technology to monitor student progress, only 37 percent used it for  research and information gathering, and only 32 percent used it to teach  lessons. Fewer than a fifth said they used technology daily to post student and  class information on the Internet or to communicate with parents via e-mail.

  • disparities in school and student access to technology still exist,  particularly in urban schools.
  • schools that do have a high level of access
  • are not using those technologies in ways that significantly improve student  learning
  • it may have a limited number of computers, or equipment that is unreliable.
  • The report shows that many schools still have not figured out how to use  technologies
  • More than three-quarters of educators surveyed said they use computers for  administrative tasks daily
  • 32 percent used it to teach lessons
  • software, technical support, and condition of equipment were more likely to be  inadequate in urban schools in comparison to rural and suburban schools
  • While almost all educators in the study reported that their districts required  technology training, much of it appeared to be geared to administrative, not  instructional, uses
  • Only slightly more than half the respondents felt that they had adequate  preparation for integrating technology into instruction.
