Almost all AP and NWP teachers report having high-speed internet access at home Teachers Adult internet users All adults Broadband at home Dial-up/Other connection at home Do not go online from home Do not use internet 68% 79% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Source: The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project Online Survey of Teachers, March 7 to April 23, 2012, n=2,462 middle and high school teachers. Adult data from Pew Research’s Internet & American Life Project Tracking Surveys. Once online, these teachers’ online activities mirror those of the full adult population, and include social networking, information seeking, video and media consumption, and content creation. Teachers and online social networking The percent of AP and NWP teachers in this sample who use social networking sites such as Facebook or LinkedIn, as well as the percent who use Twitter, are considerably higher than the national figures for all U.S. adults. They are also higher than national figures for adult internet users. As is the case with both teens and adults nationwide, the most popular social networking site among teachers is Facebook, used by 73% of social networking teachers. Ranking a distant second in popularity among this group is YouTube (used by 32%), followed by LinkedIn and Google+ (each used by 28%). Asked how frequently they use social networking sites, more than six in 10 teachers who use these sites say they use them daily (30% at least once a day, 32% several times a day). Another 23% use these sites at least once a week, while the remaining 15% use them less often. p e winter n e t .o r g 18 97% 8% 9% 11% 15% 10% 2% 1%
Teachers are heavy social network site users when compared with the full U.S. adult population Percent of each group who do the following online… Use a social networking site like Facebook, LinkedIn or Google+ Use Twitter Teachers Adult internet users All U.S. adults 18+ 16% 14% Source: Teacher data from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project Online Survey of Teachers, March 7 to April 23, 2012, n=2,462 middle and high school teachers. Adult data from Pew Research’s Internet & American Life Project Tracking Surveys. Among AP and NWP teachers, those most likely to report using these social networking tools are younger teachers (those under age 35). This mirrors the full adult population, in which social networking site use is highest among the youngest adults and lowest among the oldest adults. Female teachers are also slightly more likely to report using social networking sites when compared with their male counterparts, but there is almost no difference in Twitter use across male and female teachers. Among AP and NWP teachers, there are slight difference in SNS and Twitter use across subject taught (English teachers are most likely to use SNS and Twitter, math teachers least likely) and grade level taught (6 th -8 th grade teachers have higher rates of SNS and Twitter use than those teaching high school). p e winter n e t .o r g 19 26% 59% 69% 78% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
