2024¨C25 Technology Survey
The Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Educational Technology Survey is sent out annually to every district to gather information which supports efforts to inform legislative reports and the work of the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ EdTech team. Providing this information has allowed the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ EdTech team to advocate on your behalf by providing meaningful data and insights from the district level.?The online Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ 2024¨C25 Educational Technology Survey has been sent to your district¡¯s designated Technology Director for completion, with a due date of May 15, 2025. See Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ 2024¨C25 Educational Technology Survey Questions. The reporting requirement ( and ) for educational technology classroom-based assessments administered in the elementary, middle, and high school grades is no longer a separate survey out to districts. To meet the legislative requirement, district reporting on these assessments is now included in the annual Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Educational Technology Survey that is sent to district designated Technology Directors. We encourage Technology Directors to discuss these educational technology classroom-based assessment questions with Teaching and Learning staff before submitting responses.
