'''Questions about types of technology that are familiar and are used in teaching. What types of technology do the students need for the class? What are the teaching challenges? What are barriers to using technology and what technologies would be of interest to learn?''' https://academictech.doit.wisc.edu/files/2010ATS_final1.pdf

Results from a survey that asked about classroom conditions and ease of use of the technologies that were located in classrooms.
