CDW-G Teacher Survey

The CDW-G Teachers Talk Technology 2005 survey reaches what seems to be a familiar conclusion. The subhead claims “Survey Reveals Gap Between Technology For Teachers And Technology For Teaching”.

Among the conclusions I found interesting:

The survey showed that teacher technology training has focused on administrative applications, rather than instructional applications.

Closing the gap between administrative use and instructional use appears to be more a question of where computers are located, as opposed to just the number of computers available. (locate more computers in classrooms)

Established, seasoned teachers indicate no innate resistance to classroom technology; in fact, the impact of technology on personal teaching style increases with teacher tenure (the assumption things will change when the future teachers now in college reach K-12 classrooms may be flawed)
