Most AP and NWP teachers use the internet on a weekly basis to find material for creating lesson plans, keep up with research and developments in their field, and find material that will engage their students How often, if ever, do you do each of the following? Receive email alerts or online newsletters that follow developments in your field Look online for content or material that will engage your students Look for material online to help you create lesson plans Interact online with other teachers to share advice on handling classroom issues Look online for the latest research in your field or the subjects you teach Use a social networking site like Ning or Twitter to exchange ideas with other teachers Daily At least once a week At least once a month Less often 8% 22% 22% 10% 36% 45% 10% 52% 23% 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. As is the case with the use of collaborative online tools, it appears that using the internet to find material online to create lesson plans or engage students is more useful for some academic subjects than others. History/social studies teachers are most likely to say they use the internet daily for each of these tasks, while math teachers are the least likely. In both cases, history/social studies teachers are twice as likely as math teachers to use the internet as a resource for content. 35% p e winter n e t .o r g 54 20% 44% 28% 39% 71% 27% 34% 12% 14% 12% 16% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 8% 3% 6%

Most AP and NWP teachers say their school is “about average” when it comes to using digital tools effectively Asked if their school is ahead of the curve, behind the curve, or about average in using digital tools effectively, roughly half of AP and NWP teachers rate their school “about average.” The remaining half is evenly divided between rating their school “ahead of the curve” or “behind the curve.” AP and NWP teachers tend to see their school as “about average” when it comes to using digital technologies effectively Overall, compared with other schools, would you say your school is ahead of the curve, about average, or behind the curve when it comes to using digital technologies effectively?
