This Issue Brief examines public school teacher views on technology in the classroom. Using data from the 2000–01 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS), the Brief reports on what types of technology teachers find essential and whether they consider technology sufficiently available in their classrooms. It also compares teacher opinions across various teacher characteristics. A majority of teachers (57 percent) considered their classroom technology sufficiently available.
