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

Can someone point me to the latest surveys, data reports on the topic of usefulness (or interference) of using handheld devices in Science Centers?  I know of the Exploratorium report dated 2003 by Sherry Hsi on the topic.

What is the latest on reasonable expectations of using this technology?  Does it ultimately interfere with the hands-on experience? Do visitors expect us to have that option when they come?

Thanks!
