The document summarizes key findings from the 2008 Speak Up survey conducted by Project Tomorrow. The survey gathered responses from over 1.3 million K-12 students, teachers, parents, and administrators regarding technology use. It found a "digital disconnect" between how students live and learn, with students highly engaged with technologies outside of school but facing obstacles to using them in school. Students said the #1 tool that could impact learning is being provided a laptop for personal use at school and home.
