The document discusses findings from the Speak Up 2009 survey conducted by Project Tomorrow. The survey gathered input from over 370,000 K-12 students, teachers, parents and administrators regarding their views on emerging technologies. Key findings include students' vision for 21st century learning incorporating digitally-rich, un-tethered and social-based elements. Educators see benefits like increased engagement but also have concerns about distraction. While most groups see technology's potential, obstacles like policies and training need to be addressed to fully realize this in classrooms.
