| Abstract | A survey of 131 southeast Louisiana educators revealed a significant discrepancy between educators' familiarity with technology and media, and the accessibility of such technology. A questionnaire asked subjects (73% female, and 27% male) to respond to a variety of items indicating familiarity with and accessibility to technology. In addition, respondents were asked to describe major impediments to technology usage, and to indicate what types of assistance would be most helpful in promoting technology use. Overall, respondents consistently reported that their level of technology knowledge exceeded the availability of the technology. For example, although 80% of the subjects reported being somewhat or very familiar with CD-ROM technology, only 51% reported having that type of technology available in their schools. Educators reported that the most serious impediment to technology usage was the lack of hardware (approximately 80%), followed by lack of training and lack of software (approximately 78% each). Respondents also reported that in-service workshops, conferences, and district technology consultants were helpful means of gaining technological knowledge. Three tables illustrate data.
