  19. Initial Results n = 352

  20. X2 = 31. 54, df = 2, p < 0.001 More than one category could be selected X2 = 83.88, df = 5, p < 0.0001 Cellphone use & YouTube were the blocked technologies

  21. More than one technology could be selected X2 = 462, p < 0.0001

  22. p < 0.0001

  23. More than one category could be selected X2 = 361.35, p < 0.0001

  24. Teacher Comments • My students really like using the new technologies. They are more enthusiastic and complete more assignments because they like to use the technology. I was amazed how many papers I received because I allowed the students to use google docs. • Students were very happy to have permission to use their cell phones in class. The survey monkey definitely helps with finding out information easily. • Students and parents loved the beginning-of-school surveys. The flip camera has been instrumental in giving students feedback on their oral presentations.

  26. Conclusion • Technology gap between K-12 educators & students • 71% initially had little or no experience • Educators eager to learn technology • Enhanced the classroom experience • Reported positive impact on student learning • Increase in student participation

  27. Conclusion • Barriers to implementation in some schools/districts • YouTube and Cellphone use • Hands on training course can be delivered over distance • More testing using Webinar • $50 threshold for course registration
