The Results Are In . . . Technology Survey Podcast

This week, I surveyed my students to find out more about the technology available to them in their homes, the ways they use technology, how they like to learn about technology and something new they would like to learn about technology.

I found the activity so valuable, I now plan to begin each year with a technology survey. Not only will it provide a window to me of what technology they have and use, it will help frame my lessons to develop 21st Century Learning Skills through technology experiences.

True to digital native form, I discovered most of my students felt they could teach someone something on the computer and their favorite method of learning something new is to try it out. As one student added, "I never read the directions to video games, I figure it out as I go."
