A recent Education Dive survey of American teachers and administrators found that more training was needed in educational technology, which is severely impacted by tight budgets and inadequate network infrastructure. Just over 86% of respondents said their districts need more ed tech training, and 41% said they didn’t think their districts had any plans for incorporating ed tech into lessons and curricula. However, 55 percent cite interactive whiteboards as the second most beneficial tool, and 50 percent cite tablets as third. The report also noted a lack of support from the federal government to help states with education technology needs.
