1998 EdTech Update Report
State of Edtech
The State of EdTech Report data demonstrates that in the past three years, Massachusetts has greatly improved its national ranking in terms of student-to-computer ratio and the development of Internet and LAN connectivity.
Three years ago, the state of computers and other forms of educational technology in Massachusetts classrooms was cause for great concern. The State ranked 48th in national rankings on educational technology, with old, out of date equipment that was under-utilized, and poorly integrated into everyday classroom activities. For a state with an economy based largely on high technology and innovation, the situation was untenable.
As of the beginning of the 1998-99 school year, the State has clearly turned the corner. Student-computer ratios continue to improve, classroom connectivity to the Internet and local area networks is dramatically on the rise, and spending on technology is significantly outpacing inflation. The most recent surveys on educational technology place Massachusetts between 21st and 30th in the nation, a rapid improvement over recent years.
The data included in this update is culled from an on-line survey completed by fifty-five percent (204 out of 368) of the state's active school districts.What the data shows is truly remarkable. In just over a year since the FY'97 school profile update data was collected, Internet and local area network (LAN) access has more than doubled. Last June, at the end of the FY'97 reporting period, less than a quarter (23 percent) of the state's classrooms had access to the Internet. Today that number is over 50 percent. Access to LANs, enabling the advantages of networked computing for e-mail, printing and collaborative projects, has similarly increased, and now stands at 56 percent.
Similarly, computer access for students has never been better. There is now 1 computer for every 5.9 students in Massachusetts. This is an improvement from 8.4 in FY'97, and 7.2 as of June of this year (the closure of the FY'98 reporting). It represents a 17 percent increase in access in less than six months.
More dramatically, access to high-speed computers, those with Intel Pentium or Apple Power PC processors or newer, improved by 30 percent in the same time period. There is now 1 high-speed computer for every 10.6 students, compared to 15.1 students in June (Table 1).
Table 1: Technology Access in Massachusetts Schools, FY'97-FY'99
| | FY'97 | 98 | FY'99 |
|---|
| Number of Students per High Speed "A" or "B" Computer | 15.6 | 15.1 | 10.6 |
| Number of Students per Any Computer Type | 8.4 | 7.2 | 5.9 |
| Percentage of Classrooms Connected to the Internet | 23% | 41% | 51% |
| Percentage of Classrooms Connected to a LAN | 26% | 46% | 54% |
Computer access is best at the high school level, where there is 1 computer for every 4.4 students statewide. At the elementary level, the number is 1 computer per every 7.2 students. In terms of high-speed Pentium or Power PC-based computers, high school students have 1 computer per 7.1 students. At the lower elementary grade levels, this number nearly doubles to 1 computer for every 13.8 students, indicating that more and higher quality computers are being deployed at the secondary school level compared to lower grade levels.
Access to networks is far more equitable across student age groups than computer access is, with variations of 5 percentage points or less being reported between the elementary, middle, and high school levels. These numbers can be seen in Table 2.
Table 2: Technology Access in Massachusetts Schools, FY'97-FY'99
| | Elementary | Middle | High |
|---|
| Number of Students per High Speed "A" or "B" Computer | 13.8 | 11.7 | 7.1 |
| Number of Students per Any Computer Type | 7.2 | 6.1 | 4.4 |
| Percentage of Classrooms Connected to the Internet | 49% | 54% | 51% |
| Percentage of Classrooms Connected to a LAN | 53% | 57% | 53% |
The most recent national survey, conducted by Market Data Research and released last month, puts Massachusetts 24th in the nation in terms of its multimedia computer access for students. This is a considerable improvement from its rankings of 48th in recent national surveys. The new ranking, combined with the Fall FY'99 Tech Profile Update data, indicates that the state is making significant gains improving student access to educational technology.
