**Interpretation of Data**
 * 67% of the technology activities rated over 50% of use during classroom instruction
 * Teachers assessments indicated that most of the computer use in the classroom was primarily for teachers
 * Discrepancy: students were clearly instructed to assess personal classroom use; students may have responded with consideration to what teachers use for the benefit of student learning rather than what students actually use.
