Source: Teacher d<strong>at</strong>a from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project Onl<strong>in</strong>e Survey of<br />

<strong>Teachers</strong>, March 7 to April 23, 2012, n=2,462 middle <strong>and</strong> high school teachers. Adult d<strong>at</strong>a from Pew<br />

Research’s Internet & American Life Project Track<strong>in</strong>g Surveys.<br />

In the general popul<strong>at</strong>ion, content cre<strong>at</strong>ion activities are generally more popular among younger <strong>and</strong><br />

middle-aged adults. The same is true among AP <strong>and</strong> NWP for two of the activities asked about <strong>in</strong> the<br />

survey; blogg<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> cre<strong>at</strong><strong>in</strong>g one’s own webpage. Both of these activities are more popular among<br />

younger teachers than older teachers. Remix<strong>in</strong>g onl<strong>in</strong>e content varies only a few percentage po<strong>in</strong>ts<br />

across different age groups of teachers.<br />

Some of the biggest differences <strong>in</strong> content cre<strong>at</strong>ion activities are found when compar<strong>in</strong>g teachers who<br />

specialize <strong>in</strong> different subjects. Science teachers have the highest r<strong>at</strong>e of remix<strong>in</strong>g m<strong>at</strong>erial they f<strong>in</strong>d<br />

onl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>and</strong> cre<strong>at</strong><strong>in</strong>g their own webpage, while English teachers are the most likely to have their own<br />

blog.<br />
