The document summarizes a webcast about a national research project called Speak Up that surveys K-12 students, teachers, parents and administrators about technology use in education. Some key findings from the 2008 survey are that most students are dissatisfied with limits on technology use at school and want more access to mobile devices and the ability to use their own devices for schoolwork. The webcast also featured a panel of experts to discuss these issues and ways to reduce the "digital disconnect" between how students learn and how they live.
