Project Tomorrow conducted a national survey called Speak Up in 2012 to understand realities and trends regarding educational technology from the perspectives of students, parents, teachers, and administrators. Over 80,000 surveys were collected in Texas alone. Key findings include:
- Texas students are avid users of social media and mobile devices for learning both in and out of school.
- Most Texas parents want their children in classes that allow the use of personal mobile devices for schoolwork.
- While technology access and use has increased, students still face obstacles like limited device access and strict Internet filters at school.
- Online learning opportunities are in high demand from students and parents in Texas for benefits like personalization and flexibility.
The document summarizes the results of the 2012 Speak Up survey conducted by Project Tomorrow. It provided an overview of the participation in Alabama, including that 34,053 surveys were submitted. Several Alabama school districts were recognized for high participation. The document reviewed some of the key national findings on trends like digital conversion, personalized learning, and the evolving role of mobile devices. It encouraged participants to analyze the data to understand realities of ed tech and evaluate if there is a shared vision for the future.
Julie Evans from Project Tomorrow gave a presentation about the results of the Speak Up 2012 survey and planning for Speak Up 2013. The presentation discussed key findings from the 2012 Alabama data including that Alabama students are actively using social media and mobile devices for schoolwork and that parents, teachers, and administrators support allowing student-owned devices in the classroom. Evans encouraged districts to participate in Speak Up 2013 to inform planning with local data insights.
Speak Up 2012 National Findings: Educators and ParentsJulie Evans
This document summarizes the key findings from the Speak Up 2012 survey on educators, parents, and digital learning. The survey found a shift from chalkboards to tablets as digital tools become more important in education. This digital conversion is driven by the Common Core standards, personal technology use, budget pressures, employer needs, and engaged digital parents. Educators, parents, and students now have greater access to smartphones, tablets, and use social media. However, bandwidth, funding, teacher training, and school culture need to further support digital learning in K-12 classrooms.
Schools around the country are starting to blend online learning into their instructional design as a means of personalizing students’ learning experiences. But with the myriad options for structuring the combination of online and face-to-face learning, teachers and administrators are faced with tough decisions on how to best implement technology for their students. In this webinar, our guests will explore the different blended-learning models that schools are using to support math instruction. They’ll discuss national trends emerging around blended-learning math programs, as well as take an up-close look at the challenges and successes one school has experienced with the blended math model.
Parents’ Conflicting Views on Personalized Learning vs. Screen TimeJulie Evans
This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Julie Evans of Project Tomorrow about parents' conflicting views on personalized learning and screen time.

Based on the document, the #1 way to get students interested and engaged in science, per the students themselves, is:
Hands-on labs and experiments.
The document does not explicitly state this, but it is implied based on the discussion of how students want interactivity, relevance, collaboration tools, and ways to personalize learning through digital content and textbooks. Hands-on labs and experiments would provide interactivity and relevance to engage students in science.
