Tick Tock Tech

We delved into this question in our recent *survey and discovered that close to 2/3 of teachers reported their children used desktops/laptops, tablets, and handheld devices for less than thirty minutes per day.  In contrast, teachers were more likely to spend over 30 minutes per day using interactive white boards and smart tables. About half of respondents who use technology say their children use it every day in school.  Most of the remaining respondents say they use technology with children a few days a week, with only 7% of teachers and 3% of administrators saying the children used technology less than once each week.
