The “Big Questions” Speak Up helps you answer

What are the expectations of K-12 students for using technology within learning, both in and out of school?

How well are today’s K-12 schools meeting the expectations of students and their parents?

What are the challenges and opportunities for teachers, administrators and librarians for more effectively using technology for enhancing personal productivity and student achievement?

What is on the horizon that we should be planning for? What are the emerging trends in learning that we all should be watching?


How districts are using Speak Up data

What can the Speak Up

findings tell us about the

future of learning?


Speak Up National Research ProjectKey Findings: Speak Up 2003 – 2011

Students function as a “Digital Advance Team”

Students regularly adopt and adapt emerging technologies

for learning

Students’ frustrations focus on the unsophisticated use of

technologies within education

Persistent digital disconnect between students and adults

Exacerbation of lack of relevancy in current education

Students want a more personalized learning environment


Social–based learning Un–tethered learning Digitally–rich learning

The New Student Vision for Learning

Personalized Learning


Imagine you are designing the ultimate

school for today’s students,

what technologies would have the

greatest impact on learning?
