Welcome to America's Digital Schools 2007. This survey builds on the work of America's Digital Schools 2006 by exploring six topics in greater depth. In addition, this survey will provide longitudinal data by repeating some of the questions from the earlier survey. The six survey topics were identified in discussions with school districts, legislators, and business partners. In each case, ADS 2007 intends to provide a balanced perspective and explore inhibitors as well as success factors.

For ADS 2007 the six topics are:

* Implementation Success Factors in 1:1 Computing
* Learning Management Systems
* Online Assessment
* Computing Devices
* Interactive Whiteboards and Classrooms
* Internet Bandwidth
