Educational Technology in AUSD - Caregiver Survey

Albany Unified is a vibrant learning community – and over the past six years, we've seen rapid adoption of educational technology across our schools. Research on the impacts of educational technology continues to evolve, and parents, teachers, and students are reflecting on their own experiences.

As part of a growing conversation within the district, we'd like to understand your perspective, as a parent or caregiver of an AUSD child.

For this survey, we define educational technology as the iPads, apps (e.g., Happy Numbers, Amplify Boost), Chromebooks (including the AI assistive technology), and instructional videos used regularly to deliver curriculum in many classrooms. We are not including curriculum itself, such as project-based learning or uses of coding, robotics, or other STEM-focused technology in the classroom.

For information on educational technology and its impacts on school children, visit our growing resource page.
