Survey of International School Computer and Internet Access

Over the last school year, The Teacher's Internet Pages conducted an on-line only survey among those willing to answer questions regarding their schools' computer and Internet Access. We now have the preliminary results and have concluded that a larger attempt would be useful to gather information that international schools would find useful for their technology planning. We ask that international schools fill out the following survey either on-line at http://www.iteachnet.com/survey.html or off-line. Send surveys completed off-line to .

This survey should be completed by technology coordinators or other administrators with the ability to poll the entire faculty, compile results and forward them to TIPS.
