Teenagers, learning and IT

21st Century Pupils Log-on to Learn

RM have commissioned a YouGov "School Gate Survey" which questioned 1,501 11-16 year olds across Britain, and examined their thoughts on the impact of IT on their learning and the value they place on it.

The results

* 93% of 11-16 year olds with computer access at school surveyed do at least some or all of their homework on a computer/ laptop.
* 78% of these prefer doing homework on a computer or laptop to pen and paper
* 50% of 11-16 year olds surveyed would like to spend more time learning at home
* 49% own their own laptop or PC
* 77% use the Internet every day
* 93% of 11-16 year olds surveyed feel that technology has helped them to learn more

I can't find the actual report on the RM or YouGov sites, which is a pity - but the press relase is interesting on its own!
