Can you help?

Can you spare 10 minutes to answer some questions about how you use the internet?

A joint initiative from the National Education Network and Lancaster University is calling for all young people and professionals in schools to take part in a survey based around their attitudes and behavior on the internet and using mobile technology. The questionnaire is conducted on-line (see link below) and should take no more than 10 minutes. Teachers may want to use it as a starter task for any activity they are conducting in a ICT room/laptops etc. The two main audiences are: educational professionals (teachers, senior management, teaching assistants, non-teaching staff, governors) and young people. The questions are differentiated for the different age groups (5-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-14, 14-19).

The survey can be accessed at: http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/projects/nen/
