Are you “Speaking Up” about digital learning this year? If not, you are missing a unique opportunity to have your views—as well as the views of your colleagues, students, their parents and the local community—included in the increasingly
important U.S. national and state discussions on digital learning policies, programs, and funding.
As a special follow up we will be releasing a white paper on the insights and desires of World Language K-12 educators and their use of technology as they work to meet the needs of students, next year. To download a free copy of the 1
st whitepaper,
“Speaking the Language of the 21st Century: World Language Teachers and their Use of Technology” based on the 2012 Speak Up data go to:

About the Speak Up National Research Project
The Speak Up National Research project annually polls K-12 students, parents and educators about the role of technology for learning in and out of school and represents the largest collection of authentic, unfiltered stakeholder voice on digital learning. Since
2003, over 3.5 million K-12 students, parents, teachers, librarians, principals, technology leaders and district administrators have shared their views and ideas through Speak Up. Education, business and policy leaders report that they use the data regularly
to inform federal, state and local education programs.
Steps you can take to get involved this year:

the Project Tomorrow Team and she will send you everything you need to be part of the Speak Up national movement.
3.) Make plans now for ways to use the Speak Up data. Every participating school and district receives free online access to your own participant data in February 2015 including the national and state
data for comparison. Why do your own survey? Speak Up provides you with national data for benchmarking!
Together, let's work towards leveraging technology to promote enhanced learning in our K-12 schools.
Speak Up is an initiative of Project Tomorrow, the nation's leading education nonprofit organization focused on empowering students to have a greater voice in their education. To learn more
