Abstract
This project was the results of a survey sent to five hundred
schools in Alberta in the Spring of 1995 to assess the perceptions of
educators about what was happening with respect to low and high
technology. The return rate was approximately 40% and the volunteer
sample represented 13% of Alberta schools across three levels of
elementary, junior high, and high school. An examination of the
educational literature implied that traditional media is being largely
disregarded in favor of newer electronic technology. However, analysis of
the survey data gathered indicated that both forms of technology were
used on a regular basis in the classroom. The survey also indicated that
there was a strong need for planned transition that would support
diffusion and adoption at the electronic media into the larger family of
institutional media.
