USVI Student Survey

Dear Student:

The following survey is part of the Virgin Islands Department of Education's effort to assess the progress of instructional technology initiatives in USVI schools. There are many different points of view and opinions related to technology resource allocation, use and impact, and this survey is one way of gathering information on those varied opinions and experiences. Teachers will also be surveyed, schools will be visited, and focus groups will be conducted this fall as a means of gathering more in-depth information on how technology impacts student learning and teacher work.

Data from this survey will be analyzed in aggregate to create an overall picture of technology use in USVI schools for the purposes of local, district, and territory planning. Individual responses will not be tracked and therefore all of your responses will be anonymous.

Thanks in advance for your time and candid responses,

VIDE
