Remember the good old days of reading textbooks in school and taking notes from a chalkboard? Yeah, neither do we.
PBS Learning Media, in preparation for Digital Learning Day on Wednesday, Feb. 6, conducted a national survey of pre-K to 12th grade teachers to find out how many incorporate technology into their day-to-day classroom activities.
According to a press release, close to 74% of all teachers surveyed said they use digital resources -- tablets, computers -- to expand and reinforce on content in their classrooms.
Among the other highlights: 69% of those surveyed said educational technology helps them “do much more than ever before” for their students, with the most commonly used resources being online lesson plans, interactive web games and online articles.
More than one-third said they use a tablet or e-reader in their classrooms -- up from 20% last year.
Take a look at the graphic below to see the rest of the results. What do you think of increased technology use in today's classrooms?
