Project Tomorrow has kicked off Speak Up 2009, the latest in the organization’s series of annual surveys focused on 21st century teaching, learning, parenting, and administration. The survey is used as a gauge of opinion and practices in education, with a particular emphasis on technology topics, such as the use of Web 2.0 tools, mobile computing, telecommunications, STEM, and a number of other topics. To date the survey has reached out to teachers, students, parents, and, more recently, school and district administrators. But this year’s survey also includes pre-service teachers. For pre-service teachers, it will cover expectations of the use of technology on the job, views on emerging technologies, the use of professional learning communities, technology training in teacher prep, comfort in using emerging technologies, views on the impact of technology on teacher effectiveness, and views on the impact of technology on learning, among other topics.
