    2003 Technology Resource Survey
     
    The new Technology Resource Survey (TRS) will go online on January
    6, 2003. The TRS solicits responses from K-12 principals about
    technology at their respective schools. Each principal will be given a
    password allowing access to the survey. The survey will be open for
    input until February 1, 2003.
     
    This survey has traditionally inquired about the numbers and kinds of
    computers available in schools. Although we have retained a few such
    questions, the new TRS will focus much more on how technology is
    used in schools and on the attitudes of leadership towards the use of
    educational technology. These changes reflect state and federal
    refocusing of attention on the integration of technology and on student
    achievement.
     
    The results of this survey will be reported online to schools and
    districts in the spring of 2003, and will provide valuable data to be
    used for school and district technology planning and for federal
    reporting required of Enhancing Education Through Technology grant
    recipients.
