Thousands of educators from nearly every district in the state responded to one form or another of this census. We appreciate the time they took to document what their schools were doing with instructional computing and the Internet. A special thanks to those educators who helped on focus groups to design the questionnaires. Thanks also to our collaborators at MOREnet, Bill Giddings. Numerous staff from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education provided guidance and assistance in this effort. We thank them all and especially the contributions of Sue Cole, Deborah Sutton, and Marilou Joyner. At OSEDA, thanks to our stalwart group of research assistants who made countless follow-up calls, Dawn Glick and Debbie D'Agostino who did the data entry, and to research associates Leigh Ann Grant-Engle, and Bill Elder.
