    Here's one statistic in the report that I think has particular relevance to our class - "... 69% say the internet has a "major impact" on their ability to share ideas with other teachers"

    I was interested in the statistic of, "Teachers of low income students, however, are much less likely than teachers of the highest income students to use tablet computers (37% v. 56%) or e-readers (41% v. 55%) in their classrooms and assignments." I teach at a community college, so I find this to be a major issue.

    @Melissa - do most of your students bring their own computers, or do they use the labs on campus?

    Most of my students use lab computers while on campus, but many have their own computers at home. Very few have tablets or laptops that they carry with them--best estimate is 5-10% that bring laptops/tablets to classes. I have some online students who come to campus or use public libraries to complete their work.

    At NIE we train student teachers for 21st Century Teacher Education and so all students are provided a laptop. That I found out recently via http://youtu.be/WGRYAFZbsko

    I found this statement to be interesting: "In terms of community type, teachers in urban areas are the least likely to say their students have sufficient access to digital tools IN SCHOOL, while rural teachers are the least likely to say their students have sufficient access AT HOME." Why do you supposed this is?

    @cheryl - might be because broadband access is not as widely available in rural areas as urban - e.g., "Because of relatively low population density, topographical barriers, and greater geographical distances, broadband service may be more difficult to obtain in some rural areas" http://www.broadband.gov/rural_areas.html
