Presenting: The Global Networked Readiness in Education Survey

Researched and written by Berkman fellows, Colin Maclay and Geoffrey Kirkman, the Global Networked Readiness in Education survey seeks to aid school leaders and policymakers by helping them to examine the role and effects of integrating information and communication technologies (ICTs) into formal learning. While educators and policymakers have invested tremendous resources into preparing students for a globalizing and technology-savvy world, they've often done so with limited understanding of the characteristics and impact of ICTs in education, resulting in problems with planning, implementation and measurement, and ultimately a techno-centric approach to integrating ICT in learning.
 
The survey includes results from over 5000 surveys of students, teachers, computer lab administrators and heads of school in schools in Brazil, Costa Rica, El Salvador, the Gambia, India (Karnataka), Jordan, Mexico, Panama, the Philippines, South Africa, and Uganda.  And the findings of their research?
