Technology and Learning

As more technology and enhanced software is being utilized in our classrooms, there are increasingly diverse ways to learn content and to demonstrate to others what you have learned.

Because we believe technology is such a valuable tool, we'd like to find out how often technology is used to meet your learning needs in a classroom. By checking a box, you are sharing that this practice happens consistently and you have come to expect it.

You will be asked to take this survey again before the end of the school year. Although technology is only one aspect of a rich learning experience, we would like to continue to measure our progress in this area.
