March 7 to April 23, 2012, n=2,462 middle <strong>and</strong> high school teachers. Adult d<strong>at</strong>a from Pew Research’s Internet &<br />
American Life Project Track<strong>in</strong>g Surveys.<br />
Given the slightly higher r<strong>at</strong>e of smartphone ownership among teachers, it is not surpris<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>at</strong> they<br />
report us<strong>in</strong>g their mobile phones for various activities <strong>at</strong> higher r<strong>at</strong>es than is the case among all U.S.<br />
adults. Almost all of the teachers <strong>in</strong> this sample who own a cell phone report us<strong>in</strong>g it to send <strong>and</strong><br />
receive text messages (98%). And more than six <strong>in</strong> 10 use their phones to access the <strong>in</strong>ternet, send <strong>and</strong><br />
receive email, <strong>and</strong> download apps. These percentages are all higher than those for adult cell phone<br />
users as a whole.<br />
