To create this survey, I have tried to break down all of the jobs that I have ever had to do as the Drama teacher in putting together a production and think of ways that I could use Information technology to make them better.
What do you do with computers in your productions that I have not mentioned?

Do you believe that having access to computer technology has made your productions either easier or better?

Thank you for your input. If you want to read about my results, please put your email address here.
