The Impact of Learning Spaces on Student Success, Sep 2018
I authored this report, based on a market research study conducted in the summer of 2018 by MDR in partnership with the EdMarket Association. With feedback from over 1,600 teachers, 94% of the respondents indicated that the school environment indeed impacts learning. Themes that evolved from the survey results that are presented include the desire for flexible and collaborative spaces, the importance of technology integration, and intentionally-designed modern classrooms.
Teachers Talk Technology, July 2018
I authored this report, which was based on a two-pronged market research study conducted by MDR in the spring of 2018. MDR administered a nationwide survey and online bulletin board to classroom teachers about technology in their schools. Survey responses and qualitative perceptions from over 4,400 teachers created a snapshot of how they are using a variety of classroom technologies, including the Internet, personal devices and hardware, apps, online resources, learning management, and student information systems.
