Nearly 59 percent say their districts use educational technology daily that isn’t notebooks or desktops. 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. 71% of respondents said their districts need more ed tech , and 71% said they didn’t think their districts had any plans for incorporating ed tech into lessons and curricula. Tellingly, 41% of respondents cited budgets as a major challenge (along with network infrastructure and unreliable devices or software), and 75% said their districts need a dedicated department to help with tech use in classrooms.
