Thank you in advance for participating in the following survey.  The survey is part of a project connected with the Lookstein Center.  The goal of the survey is twofold: 

  • First, to assess the penetration of technology into our lives as teachers and administrators;

  • Secondly, to assess your assessment of the benefit (or lack thereof) of integrating technology into the educational process.

All personal information will be kept strictly private; however, aggregate information may be made public as part of my project.

Yours, with great interest,
