Speak Up Survey

Speak Up, a national online research project facilitated by Project Tomorrow, gives individuals the opportunity to share their viewpoints about key educational issues, particularly concerning 21st century education and technology. Each year, findings are summarized and share with national and state policy makers.

The survey is open until Dec. 15,2015. It will take about 20-30 min to take the survey. Students are encouraged to take the survey as well. They have a shorter survey, so it will probably take 15-20 minutes for them to take.
