Please forgive the cross-posting. I have a student in my graduate
Instructional Technology course at the College of St. Francis in Joliet
(IL) who seeks input from classroom teachers. Her research topic is the
frequency of teaching about ergonomics related to computer use in our K-12
schools. Any assistance in completing the survey would be greatly
appreciated. Please e-mail any responses directly to her at:
Capkatie@aol.com (Katie Jezidija)

Thanks,
Fred Schouten
