Technology in the Classroom [Infographic]

by Jeffrey Thomas on October 17, 2010

I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry after reading and absorbing the statistics in this infographic via Online Colleges and Universities

Here are my most startling observations:

Whiteboards in 28% of Classrooms, Internet Access in only 14%!!!!
Only 64% of Schools have Internet Access!!!!
Average Number of Students to Computers–24 to 1!!!!
Teacher Using the Computer as a Learning Aid
Finally, 98% of 7th Graders could not discern valid websites from hoax sites!!!!

I changed my mind–I’m crying! Do these statistics surprise anyone besides me???

Thanks! I’m using Yahoo but I wouldn’t recommend them as they have not kept up as well as they should have. For instance, I cannot upgrade yet to WordPress 3.2 because they are using an older version of MySQL–promising to update but its been several months. I basically had to do a lot of tweaking to get it to load more quickly but I’m sure there are many hosts out there that would fit your needs. Good Luck
