Access to EdWeeks’ Technology Counts issue used to be a big deal for me. The resource served as a source of information on student access to technology and we used the data in our writing activities. I used to even buy the special issue so I could carefully examine the numbers.
I have grown more and more disappointed in the direction this publication has taken and the value of the data provided. More and more the topics seem to concern whether policies are in place. I want to know what kids are doing with technology.
For the past several years, I have read the headings, was exited to learn what was happening, and ultimately ended up disappointed in what I learned. Here is what I mean. Use of Technology. What does that imply to you? Here is what Technology Counts was able to offer on the “Use of Technology” in North Dakota.
This looks like the results of a survey sent to Departments of Public Instruction.
