A New Report from Blackboard and Project Tomorrow
Blackboard and Project Tomorrow®, a national education nonprofit group, have joined together to bring you the next report in our Education in the 21st Century series, Learning in the 21st Century: Parents’ Perspectives, Parents’ Priorities. This collection of reports includes data from the Speak Up Survey and sheds light on issues related to learning and leading in K-12 education.
Through the Speak Up 2008 Survey, students offered vital recommendations for using technology to transform their school experiences. However, parents are also important, but often overlooked, stakeholders in education. Learning in the 21st Century: Parents’ Perspectives, Parents’ Priorities explores the views of parents on the role of technology in education and how well they believe schools are doing to prepare children for the jobs and careers of the future.
Based upon the voices of over 21,000 parents collected through the Speak Up 2008 National Research Project, this landmark report investigates both the angst and the aspirations of parents on key education issues such as:
• Do parents believe that effective technology use at school is important for their child’s success?
• Are parents satisfied with the use of technology at their child’s school?
• What types of technology investments do parents think schools should make to improve learning?
• How do America’s parents answer this question: Is your child’s school doing a good job preparing your child for the jobs of the future?
Download the report today to hear responses to these questions and more. You can visit our Education in the 21st Century website to read more reports from Blackboard and Project Tomorrow.
