Academic Experience Question 1.2 Details

Is there technology in the classrooms?

One measure of how schools invest in technology is the kind and extent of technology they build into classrooms. With the many places, on– and off–campus, that instruction takes place, this can be difficult to measure, but most schools are prepared to describe what technologies they have in regular "classrooms."
