Here are my survey questions. I started getting people today to fill them out, and leave them in my mailbox.

Dear Education Professional:

My name is Anthony Anderson (Tony), and a Graduate Student from Georgetown College Kentucky. The following survey, regards the use of Smart Phones in the classroom, and your participation will be most appreciated. It is not necessary for you to put your name on the survey, and if you choose not to participate, simply do not return the questionnaire. It will be assumed you opted out of participation. In addition, the grade level you teach is not relevant to this survey, but your opinion as a teaching professional and education expert, is of great value for this research.  

Please be advised that by participating in this survey, you are giving your expressed permission to participate. (Please note, the word phone, refers to digital phones, such as Iphones and Droids, with graphical touch screens).

If you are a one who teaches younger students, please try to think as if you are teaching more advanced grade levels.
