Technology Use Survey

<p>Our school will be partnering with BrightBytes, an educational software company, so&nbsp;that we can learn more about our school’s technology use for student learning. The&nbsp;purpose behind this survey is to gather metrics on our technology environment, access,&nbsp;and skills in order to better understand the connection between technology use and&nbsp;student achievement. The results will tell us if our recent initiatives and investments are&nbsp;having an impact on our students and also give us direction for next steps. This will be&nbsp;done through a comprehensive framework called CASE that looks at the Classroom&nbsp;factors, Access to technology, teacher and student Skills and Environmental factors.&nbsp;To gain these insights, we must provide BrightBytes with a complete picture of&nbsp;technology use at school and at home. We will be asking parents, students, and teachers&nbsp;to participate in this research. Students in grades 3-8 will take a 10 minute&nbsp;questionnaire that asks them about their technology use in school and at home. The&nbsp;questionnaire is anonymous and no identifying information is shared.</p><p>Sample questions can be viewed at the link below.<br><br>http://survey.brightbytes.net/s3/SAMPLE-Elementary-Student-Questionnaire</p><p>http://survey.brightbytes.net/s3/SAMPLE-Middle-School-Questionnaire</p><p>Our collection window <strong>will open on March 21st and close on April 1st. </strong>Students will take&nbsp;the survey at school.
