I plan to review the breakdown and momentum of spending on technology in the classroom throughout the City of Chicago and national comparisons for increase or decrease in per pupil costs with a breakdown of labor, equipment and administration.
1) Are we spending more per pupil on technology throughout Chicago?
2) How do we compare with other districts throughout the country?
3) What is the breakdown of technology costs during a school year?

Research Questions
Hello,
I am dong both, as I am on a Track E (year round school). I have 2 weeks off here in late March and Early April. I will be going to my parent's home for a few days and then spending the Easter season with my fiance here at home. It will be quite a bit of fun in both situations. I am getting a flight, train ride and fun time out of all this.
Planned Research Topic
I plan to explore the feasibility of moving standardized and classroom testing into the 21st Century. Testing in its current form does not sync with how our children think today. As a result, testing will be more accurate with the implementation of an online testing system. Based on skill level, this research will be targeted at third to twelfth grade.
Research Questions:
1) Does the technology exist for students to be tested using computers rather in paper form?
2) Is there funding to support such a change in standard operating procedures from paper to computer testing?
3) Is there a measurable advantage to testing students in electronic form?
4) Are there methods to grade electronic format tests for extended response answers?
5) Who should make this decision, federal, state, district or school governance?
Any more ideas? I am also posting this on my blog at: http://stukb.blogspot.com/
