RE:
 >How valid will these results be for ASTC institutions nationwide?<



I had the same question, but I realize that any study or survey is
context-bound, so needs translation to my situation.  I hope someday we can
do such a survey.

 Recently, I asked this list if anyone knew of a study of internet use by
teachers, and did not find anything more recent than 2000. (Lots of
internet changes since 2000!)  So, I am very happy that NYHS gave us at
least a glimpse of teacher use and a model for future local surveys.

It is interesting that so many of us use our museum websites for marketing
to schools and teachers without much information about how teachers use
that resource.
