From CDs to AI: Speak Up Research Project Findings, 2003-2023. What Do K-12 Students Say about Their Digital Learning Experiences Today?
Project Tomorrow
Project Tomorrow® has had a unique front-row seat on this evolutionary journey in the adoption of technology within teaching and learning in K-12 schools. The original Speak Up® surveys were designed to collect firsthand feedback from K-12 students nationwide in October 2003 as an input to the National Education Technology Plan. The idea of listening directly to K-12 stakeholders about their technology experiences was out-of-the-box thinking and subsequently, the Speak Up Research Project evolved to be an annual national event collecting and reporting on the authentic views of not only K-12 students, but also the perceptions of teachers, administrators, and parents about the state of digital learning in America. In this twentieth year of the Speak Up Research Project, there is value in leveraging this longitudinal dataset to understand the dynamics of technology adoption more fully within K-12 education over the past few years, and to use that knowledge to lay a foundation for new digital innovations and initiatives that can support student learning and teacher effectiveness. To commemorate this twenty-year legacy, Project Tomorrow is releasing four national reports this year, each documenting the current views of a different K-12 stakeholder audience and providing context with a longitudinal perspective on the data findings. This first report in the series is focused on the ideas and insights of K-12 students, providing both the highlights from the 2022-23 data collection effort nationwide, as well as pulling forward key historical data. The takeaway from this examination of the Speak Up research highlights that providing appropriate and effective student access to technology, though greatly increased over the past twenty years, is still a continuing challenge in many communities. Topics such as this are discussed in this report and the other three companion reports to be released. This report is organized to support effective usage of the research findings, including initiating new discussions and conversations about how to harness the long-promised potential of technology to improve student outcomes and teacher effectiveness.
