K-12 Bridge Symposium: Speak Up

1. The document discusses findings from the 2006 Speak Up national research project conducted by Project Tomorrow, which surveyed over 232,000 K-12 students, 21,000 teachers, and 15,000 parents about education, technology, and 21st century learning. 2. Key findings from students included that communications is their top technology use, they want math and science taught through real-world problems and hands-on activities, and they believe having a laptop is essential for designing their ideal school. 3. Teacher findings showed that while technology enhances learning, a lack of time is the primary barrier to more technology integration. Professional development in integrating technology into curriculum was their top request.
