PBS SURVEY FINDS TEACHERS ARE EMBRACING DIGITAL RESOURCES TO PROPEL STUDENT LEARNING
As Teachers Celebrate Digital Learning Day, 74% Say Technology Enables Them to Reinforce and Expand on Content
Excerpt:
ARLINGTON, VA, February 4, 2013 – PBS LearningMedia today released findings from a
national survey of pre-K-12 teachers that provides a current snapshot of how teachers are
utilizing technology in America’s classrooms, the types of technology teachers have access to
and their attitudes toward technology. Three-quarters of teachers surveyed link educational
technology to a growing list of benefits, saying technology enables them to reinforce and
expand on content (74%), to motivate students to learn (74%), and to respond to a variety of
learning styles (73%). Seven in 10 teachers (69%) surveyed said educational technology allows
them to “do much more than ever before” for their students.
