Abstract: Speak Up 2007 provided online surveys for K-12 students, teachers, parents (in English and Spanish) and for the first time, school leaders, defined as school principals, technology coordinators, district administrators and school board members. In addition to asking foundational questions about technology use, 21st century skills and schools of the future, this year's surveys also polled on timely issues such as emerging technologies (online learning, mobile devices and educational gaming), science instruction and global competitiveness, and the challenges facing school leaders today. The Speak Up 2007 online surveys were open for participant input from October 1 through December 21, 2007. For this national release the authors have identified some key national findings from their Speak Up 2007 results that they felt were most timely for the national discussion. These findings are presented in this paper.
