According to the 21st-Century Classroom Report: Preparing Students for the Future or the Past? students think technology is important now and will be in the future, but their schools aren’t adequately preparing them to use technology in college and their careers. Students use technology extensively as a learning tool and expect to use technology in college and the workforce. 94% anticipate using technology to complete assignments in college.
