Source: Teacher d<strong>at</strong>a from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project Onl<strong>in</strong>e Survey of <strong>Teachers</strong>,<br />
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 />
P<strong>at</strong>terns <strong>in</strong> onl<strong>in</strong>e video consumption among these teachers are different than those for the full adult<br />
popul<strong>at</strong>ion. N<strong>at</strong>ionally, young adults (those under age 30) lead the way <strong>in</strong> all of these onl<strong>in</strong>e video<br />
activities, often by very wide marg<strong>in</strong>s over older adults. Yet among AP <strong>and</strong> NWP teachers, the only<br />
pronounced age differences appear for “w<strong>at</strong>ch<strong>in</strong>g television shows or movies onl<strong>in</strong>e.” The percent of AP<br />
<strong>and</strong> NWP teachers who w<strong>at</strong>ch television or movies onl<strong>in</strong>e drops from 87% among 22-34 year olds to<br />
63% of those ages 55 <strong>and</strong> older. Still, older teachers <strong>in</strong> this sample are w<strong>at</strong>ch<strong>in</strong>g television shows <strong>and</strong><br />
movies onl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>at</strong> much higher r<strong>at</strong>es than other adults their age. In 2009, just 16% of onl<strong>in</strong>e adults age 50<br />
<strong>and</strong> older were w<strong>at</strong>ch<strong>in</strong>g television shows or movies onl<strong>in</strong>e.<br />
Male teachers slightly outpace female teachers <strong>in</strong> download<strong>in</strong>g video, as do History/Social Studies <strong>and</strong><br />
Science teachers when compared with English <strong>and</strong> m<strong>at</strong>h teachers. M<strong>at</strong>h teachers also report the lowest<br />
r<strong>at</strong>es of video upload<strong>in</strong>g when compared with colleagues who teach other subjects, which may be partly<br />
due to their lower r<strong>at</strong>es of social network site use.<br />
