Teachers are heavy internet information seekers Percent of each group who do the following online… Use an online search engine Not including email, do any kind of work or research online for your job 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. Teachers are not alone in their reliance on search engines As noted in our first report based on this survey, 4 adults as well as teens appear to increasingly equate finding information with “Googling.” In Pew Internet surveys, search engine use consistently tops the list of most popular online activities, along with email. Currently, 92% of online adults use search engines to find information on the web, up from 84% in June 2004. On any given day online, 59% of those who are online use a search engine (up from 30% in 2004). 5 Among all adult search engine users, Google is far and away the most used search engine and its dominance continues to grow over time. Yahoo places a distant second. Google is likewise the search engine of choice among AP and NWP teachers, with 90% naming Google as the search tool they use most often. Yahoo (4%) and Bing (3%) are the only other search engines cited by more than 1% of teachers. 4 See “How Teens Do Research in the Digital World,” available at http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2012/Student- Research.aspx.

As with all adult internet users, Google is far and away the search engine of choice among AP and NWP teachers Which search engine do you use MOST OFTEN? Yahoo 4% Bing 3% 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. Not only are U.S. adults in general increasingly reliant on search engines as an information source, but they are very confident in their search abilities and generally trust the results they get. 6 Specifically, Pew Internet has found: 56% of adult search engine users say they are very confident in their search abilities, while only 6% say they are not too or not at all confident 73% of adult search engine users say that most or all of the information they find using search engines is accurate and trustworthy Compared with these national benchmarks for all adults, this population of teachers is even more confident in their own search abilities. Almost three-quarters (73%) of these middle and high school teachers say they are “very confident” in their own search abilities, with another 26% saying they are “somewhat confident.” Of the more than 2,000 teachers surveyed, only 1% describe themselves as “not too confident” when it comes to using search engines. 6 See “Search Engine Use 2012,” available at http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2012/Search-Engine-Use- 2012.aspx .
