- A desire to implement classroom technology that would allow tracking of their child's progress in real-time (44.9 percent), as well as: Educational tools to use at home (32.6 percent) Notification if their child is falling behind (26.6 percent) Personalized coursework recommendations (23.8 percent)
- Parents would take advantage of educational technology that recommends supplemental coursework designed to improve their child's performance in the classroom (37 percent)
