The Internet’s Impact on School Project (IISP) is seeking stories from middle and high school students

The Internet’s Impact on School Project (IISP) is seeking stories from middle

and high school students on how they use the Internet for school.

IISP is a national study that seeks to describe the rich and varied ways that

middle and high school students use the Internet for school and learning, their

attitudes toward the Internet, and what they would likefrom their education.

Data are being collected primarily through the conduct of focus groups of diverse

students drawn from around the country. In addition, we are soliciting stories

from students not able to participate in our focus groups via our project website.

Our work will result in a report to be widely released in Spring 2002.To add
