> This research survey by Dr. Peter Rich, from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, USA seems to be worthwhile and in line with ECAWA objectives. It is relevant for teachers of primary and lower secondary students and is purported to take no longer than 20 minutes.

>       My name is Dr. Peter Rich, from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, USA.  I've been promoting the T&E in STEM for elementary education.  I'm currently conducting a study on teachers' practices who are teaching computing in K-8 around the world (year 1 through about 13/14 years old). So far, I have responses from over a dozen countries, with the majority from the UK, Finland and the USA.  However, I know that with Australia's new curriculum, there ought to be a good cadre of teachers who have begun to teach computing to younger children in Australia. I'd really like to represent these teachers in this study and get a good idea of how things are shaping up in the way Australians are teaching computing.

>        Would you mind passing this survey on to teachers in your school network?  It takes about 20 minutes to complete (the avg. time is currently 10-15min).  To incentivize people to complete the survey, we are entering the name of each person into a drawing for an iPad mini 4 (1 drawing for every 200 complete responses).
