    1. Not at all

    2. To a minor degree

    3. To a substantial degree

    4. Completely


  1. To what degree does the curriculum in your school demand that students use digital technology to demonstrate learning outcomes, if at all?

    1. Not at all

    2. To a minor degree

    3. To a substantial degree

    4. Completely


  1. How important is it for students in your classes to use digital technology in order to understand and apply the concepts that you teach:
