RESULTS:
Presently use computer technology in Personal Planning:

29 YES 82 NO

30 YES *62 NO 13 UNSURE
* "No" includes those people who left the area blank, except for:
the 6 people who use tech in personal planning now, but did not indicate any plans to use it in the future. (One might suspect that they would continue using tech in the same way, which would increase the "yes" number to 36).

21. If yes, please elaborate on the activities and projects in which computer technology has helped you achieve learning outcomes in Personal Planning. (Please specify the computer programs that you used).

22. What computer technologies or projects (in Personal Planning) do you see yourself moving towards in the next 2 years?

RESULTS:

The results have been divided into two sections "Curriculum Areas" and "Other".
The results have been counted for instances of "present use" (teachers mentioned using this activity with their classes) and of "future use" (teachers expressed desire to try out this activity in the future).

The results are presented in order of the overall popularity (most popular is at the top of each section). "Popularity" has been designated as the "Total" times that an item was mentioned (instances of present use added to instances of planned future use).
