The effect of age on university teachers' ICT use, however, has attracted much less attention. This study uses quantitative data from a survey of 401 teachers from…

In March 2019, the EdWeek Research Center conducted an online survey of 700 pre-K-12 teachers to learn more about how they experience and perceive ed-tech innovation. Results suggest that K-12 schools, while not innovation deserts, have plenty of room to grow when it comes to meaningful and positive changes to the ways in which they use technology.

This study focused on technology usage among community college faculty. Overall technology use among older faculty was slightly less than younger faculty; older faculty were no less likely than younger respondents to use technology. Both age groups used similar technologies and reported equivalent degrees of perceived skill with those…

Research could not be found that addressed how technology teachers are integrating technology in their instruction. However, several studies have been conducted in other areas of career and technical education. Abbot and Fouts (2001) found that over half of the teachers they studied did not routinely use technology in teaching and learning. The…
