1. Introduction
The purpose of this survey is to evaluate your opinions about the use of handheld computers (Personal Digital Assistants or PDA's) in the school environment. This should take less than 10 minutes of your time. No personally identifying information is required and any such information supplied by you will never be used to identify you, your school, or your district--all such information is confidential. There are no known risks associated with completing this survey, however, your feedback may be useful in evaluating the utility of PDA's in our schools. Should any questions arise, please contact Dr. Ronald Styron at ronald.styron@usm.edu. This project has been reviewed and approved by the Human Subjects Protection Committee, which ensures that research projects involving human subjects follow federal regulations.
