AP and NWP teachers are into “content creation” Percent of each group who do the following online… Create or work on your own webpage Take material you find online - like songs, texts, or images - and remix it into your own creation Create or work on your own online journal or blog Teachers Adult internet users All U.S. adults 18+ 14% 11% 12% 14% 11% 17% 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. In the general population, content creation activities are generally more popular among younger and middle-aged adults. The same is true among AP and NWP for two of the activities asked about in the survey; blogging and creating one’s own webpage. Both of these activities are more popular among younger teachers than older teachers. Remixing online content varies only a few percentage points across different age groups of teachers. Some of the biggest differences in content creation activities are found when comparing teachers who specialize in different subjects. Science teachers have the highest rate of remixing material they find online and creating their own webpage, while English teachers are the most likely to have their own blog. p e winter n e t .o r g 28 39% 51% 59% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

Adult data from Pew Research’s Internet & American Life Project Tracking Surveys. Most teachers are “very confident” in their ability to use the latest digital technologies, yet many also feel their students know more than they do Asked how confident they are in their ability to learn to use new digital tools and technologies, more than half of AP and NWP teachers (56%) say they are “very confident.” Another 39% describe themselves as “somewhat confident” while just 5% say they are “not too confident” or “not at all confident” in this area. A teacher’s age has a particularly pronounced relationship with their confidence using new digital technologies. Younger teachers are much more likely to say they are “very confident” in this area when compared with older teachers. Male teachers are also particularly confident when compared with their female counterparts, as are teachers who have children under 18 living at home when compared with teachers who do not have young children living at home. p e winter n e t .o r g 29
