K–12 Educational Technology Use Pre- and Post-COVID-19

• In Event: Technology as an Agent of Change in Teaching and Learning SIG Poster Session

Abstract

A nationally representative survey in February–March 2020 was conducted to document educational technology use and professional development needs of teachers, not knowing the COVID-19 pandemic was on the horizon. We then fielded a second wave survey in June 2020 to compare, cross-sectionally, teachers' experiences and needs after the transition to remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results from the initial survey and pre-post differences are reported to provide critical recent information about the barriers in equitable access to technology and support teachers need in using educational media and technology in remote and in-person classroom settings.
