**O.M.B. NO. 1875-0189 ▪ Approval Expires 09/30/2001**

To better understand the role and use of information technology in
schools, the U.S. Department of Education has contracted with SRI
International, The Urban Institute, and the American Institutes for
Research to conduct linked studies on the availability and uses of
educational technology among states, school districts, schools, and
teachers across the country. Collectively, these research and evaluation
efforts are referred to as the ***Integrated Studies of Educational
Technology*** and will comprise one of the largest and most
comprehensive national studies on the role of technology in American
elementary and secondary schools to date.

This survey of teachers is designed to capture detailed information
about the nature and adequacy of the professional development in
educational technology available to teachers. For informed policy
decisions to be made regarding technology-related professional
development, greater understanding of the experiences and opinions of
teachers is critical. While you are not required to respond, your
cooperation is needed to make the results of this survey of educational
technology comprehensive, accurate, and timely. A copy of the final
report will be made available to you. Thank you for your participation
in this important study.

  A   I need longer blocks of instruction time/longer periods                                                                                                         1            2              3              4            8

  B   Students work more collaboratively with one another                                                                                                             1            2              3              4            8

  C   I find myself in the role of coach or advisor in the classroom more often than I used to                                                                        1            2              3              4            8

  D   Students get so wound up, it is difficult to get them to settle down afterwards                                                                                 1            2              3              4            8

  E   I have gained skill in orchestrating multiple parallel activities in the classroom                                                                              1            2              3              4            8

  F   Students can cheat more easily -- copying work and turning it in as their own                                                                                   1            2              3              4            8

  G   I am more reflective about basic teaching goals and priorities                                                                                                  1            2              3              4            8

  H   I have students work independently more, i.e., explore a topic on their own, revise own work                                                                    1            2              3              4            8

  I   I feel like I give up too much instructional responsibility to the computer software -- like I'm not really teaching                                            1            2              3              4            8

  J   Students use computers in order to avoid doing more important work                                                                                              1            2              3              4            8

  K   Often too many students need my help at the same time                                                                                                           1            2              3              4            8

  L   I have changed the way I organize classroom activities                                                                                                          1            2              3              4            8

  M   I rely less on textbooks                                                                                                                                        1            2              3              4            8

  N   I am better able to meet the needs of students with varying needs (e.g., low achieving or "gifted" students)                                                    1            2              3              4            8

  1     The gap between 'gifted' and other students is widening

  2     Students confuse quality of presentation with quality of content

  3     Students are able to hide their lack of knowledge in a subject with the aid of technology

  4     Students confuse finding information about a topic on the Internet with understanding of that topic

  5     ESL and LEP students are intimidated by the level of English on the Internet

  6     Students only want to focus on the area of a project that involves the Internet and computers

  7     Students who do not have or cannot afford computers, printers, graphing calculators, etc. at home are not performing as well in school

  8     Technology interferes with the student/teacher relationship

  9     It is difficult to monitor student activities on the Internet

  10    Computers are hard to figure out how to use

  11    It is difficult to integrate computer activities into most of your regular lesson plans

  12    In general, teachers and students become too dependent on it. When technology breaks down they're lost
