The use of technology in K-12 education is now more widespread than it ever was before the pandemic, and that is the case even though nearly all schools across the country have transitioned back to in-person learning. Record numbers of students now have their own school-issued digital devices, educators have become more critical evaluators of technology tools, and a hard push is underway at the federal, state, and local levels to get all homes connected to high-speed internet.

But big problems and challenges remain. 

Using in-depth reporting combined with exclusive EdWeek Research Center survey data from teachers, principals, and district leaders, °ÄÃÅÅܹ·ÂÛ̳'s annual Technology Counts report examines these challenges as well as the strategies and tactics schools are employing to address them.
