ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

The New York Hall of Science and Altered Image have completed a survey
of teachers' use of the WWW to support museum visits.  The survey had
over 1200 respondants who answered 23 questions related to their use of
the WWW for teaching in general, and specifically as a part of an
informal education experience.  A report analyzing the results of this
survey is now available.

We were able to persuade the NYC Department of Education to distribute
the survey through their in-house email system, which resulted in well
over a 1000 responses from NYC public school educators.

As far as I know, this is the largest such survey, and we will be glad
to email it to anyone who would like a copy.

Special thanks are due to the National Science Foundation's Informal
Science Education program for their support, and to Altered Image
designing the survey and working hard to reach so many teachers.
