2003 Tech Statistics

When you write about technology in schools, you constantly search for current statistics. Things change fast and it is difficult to provide a description of what is typical. Some commonly cited statistical sources are fee based — these sources appear to be oriented toward those making business decisions. Education Week offers an annual review of educational issues and trends under the title of Technology Counts. The 2003 issue is now available. If you visit this site or read the paper version (I think I paid $6), you still need to watch the dates for the data Tech Counts 2003 provides. You will see that some of it was gathered in 2000.

On more thing about this publication. Each year, in addition to giving updated state by state data on technology use, the publication has a topical focus. This year’s focus addresses the role of technology in assessment (online testing, online test preparation, computer essay grading).
