Dear K-8 Educator: 

I am an experienced teacher who has returned to
graduate school at the University of North Carolina's School of Information
and Library Science. As a part of my master's research, I am studying
teacher perspectives on three specific programs in science, technology,
engineering and math. 

If you are a teacher who teaches web development,
robotics or model bridge building to any students between kindergarten and
8th grade, I ask that you take the time to participate in my study. As you
know, the work you do as an educator is extremely important to the future
of our children and our country. Your unique perspective will be a valued
addition to my research. Your participation in this study is completely
voluntary. 

To participate in the study, please complete an online
questionnaire by clicking this link:

The
questionnaire will take you between 10 and 20 minutes to complete. Please
complete the survey before March 31, 2011. 

Because I want to encourage
the participation of as many teachers as possible, please forward this
email to any K-8 teachers who teaches web development, robotics or model
bridge building.
