Speak Up 2015 • 228821Speak Up 2015

Grades 6 - 8 Dear Student:

• This survey is about your education including your use of technology and how well your school is preparing you for the future.

• Your opinions matter! Since 2003, almost 4 million students, teachers and parents have completed Speak Up surveys and that data has been shared with local, state, and national leaders to inform education decisions. The ideas that you will share on this survey will be used to improve education at schools around the world.

• All of your answers are 100% confidential. No one will ask your name on this survey. No one will know your answers.

• The word "technology" means different things to different people. For this survey, technology means all kinds of electronic devices like computers, tablets, laptops, Chromebooks, and smartphones, as well as mobile and online resources. If there are any items that you do not understand or are not familiar with, please feel free to skip to the next question.

• By being part of Speak Up 2015, you are contributing to a bigger discussion worldwide about how to improve education for all students. Congratulations on being part of Speak Up! We encourage you to also talk with your teachers, parents and classmates about your ideas about your education and your future as well.Thank you for your participation.

• Sincerely, Your Speak Up Team @ Project Tomorrow

• The survey consists of 30 questions.

Speak up 2015

• Thinking about all of your classes in school this year, in which class is technology used the most effectively to engage students in learning? Tell us about that class. What types of technology are you using in that class (such as mobile devices, social media, digital games, videos or other online tools), and what is the impact of that technology usage on your learning?

Speak Up 2015

• Now, help us predict the future of learning! What will “school” be like five years from now in 2020? How will emerging technologies change the way students go to school, take classes, interact with their teachers and classmates, and learn about the world? Share your ideas with us and we will share them with the futurists who are thinking about this same topic – your ideas are important to those discussions!

2014

• Pick a school subject and tell us how using technology in that class could make that subject more interesting for you. Some things to think about for your response: what type of class would it be, what type of technology would you like to use, and how would that technology help you learn more.
