Technology and College Students

How much technology do you really use?  If you haven't completed the technology survey in the class wiki yet, do it now.  It won't take you long and I'm really curious about what students are using everyday.  My guess it's more than it used to be and it's less than it will be!

A recent study by Educause revealed some interesting statistics about technology and wifi:

• Only 78% of students feel that wifi is extremely valuable for their academic success. 
• 60% of students said they wouldn’t attend a college all if it didn’t offer free wifi.  
• 47% of students believe technology makes professors better at their jobs
• 30% of students found their instructors to be incapable of getting technology working without student aid.

Another study by Online Colleges found that more US college students prefer a hybrid of online/offline education than a pure experience in either direction. Check out this infographic for more interesting statistics.  Do you think it accurately depicts you?
