Technology Parent Survey

Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this survey. Technology is an ever-growing field, and an area that often catches our students' interests. I love to use technology in the classroom, but I would like a better understanding of where parents stand on this issue. Please understand that the results of this survey will not be shared with the students. It is solely for the purpose of helping me to understand how technology is used at home.
