q2 · i? · associational · r2

Trend analysis of CPS principal surveys in 2001, 2003, and 2005, analyzed both for principals responding in all three years and for all principals. The box-plot trend displays (Figure 2) show computer use that was average in 2003 "would have been considered exceptionally high in 2001," and the same magnitude of increase recurred from 2003 to 2005.

"Overall, principals’ use of technology to do their work changed dramati - cally over the span of four years."
