New Hampshire SCHOOL SCHOOLSCHOOl Technology Survey 2006-07 This survey report is available for download at www.nheon.org/oet. Questions? Send an email to chiggins@ed.state.nh.us
This survey was administered as an online survey between 1/5/07 and 2/28/07. Requests to complete the survey were sent to all district technology coordinators as well as federal technology grant project managers in New Hampshire. A total of 421 out of 475 (89%) school building surveys were received and analyzed to create this report. (NOTE: Seven responses represented sets of two schools combined in the same building.) The New Hampshire Department of Education (NHDOE) relies on this survey data to evaluate the extent to which the state and its schools are effectively implementing technology programs and to inform decisions about future grant funding priorities. For questions about this report, contact Cathy Higgins at the NHDOE Office of Educational Technology at chiggins@ed.state.nh.us or 603-271-2453. The School Tech Survey contains five sections. A companion DISTRICT tech survey was also conducted. - Hardware - Connectivity and Networks - Service & Support THIS REPORTà ICT Literacy - Professional Development

Technology / ICT Literacy On 7/1/05, New Hampshire adopted a revised set of School Minimum Standards, including standards for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Literacy (Ed 306.42). Since that time, districts have been updating their instructional programs to meet the new standards. Please tell us how your district currently addresses technology literacy instruction and assessment, so we can plan future technical assistance to districts. Please answer as accurately as possible. You can find more information about these standards at: http://www.nheon.org/oet/standards/ICTLiteracy.htm.
