Speak Up Virginia Technology Survey

Dear GCPS community member,

We are excited to announce that Gloucester County Public Schools is participating in Virginia Speak Up! This survey will help us answer questions, such as:

  • How are our students using technology for learning in and out of school?

  • How important is the use of technology to our teachers and parents? 

  • What types of technology do our teachers find of value and how are they using it in the classroom?

  • Do our ideas about technology align with our students’ parents?

Speak Up, a national research project facilitated by Project Tomorrow, provides an easy way for students, parents, and educators to share their views on technology and learning with Gloucester County Public Schools. Your input informs our decisions about technology, as well as contributes to the national dialogue about educational technology. Since 2003, Project Tomorrow has collected and shared the viewpoints of more than 5.4 million students, educators, and parents. All responses are 100% confidential. No identifying information is collected about/from any participant.

As a nonprofit educational organization, Project Tomorrow provides Speak Up as a free tool for all schools to use – allowing us to conduct this research while also keeping our resources focused in the classrooms. Gloucester County Public Schools receives our results with state and national comparisons, providing us with valuable data that can be used for our strategic planning, professional development, and budgeting plans during the school year.

Taking the survey is easy! Plan to spend approximately 20 minutes.
