Please note, this is part III of an ongoing discussion regarding access to specific websites in Education. Click here and here to be brought up to speed.
The results are in for the corporate survey! As a disclaimer, this survey only garnered approx. half the amount of respondents that the education survey did, so the sample size isn't quite what I'd like it to be for an accurate comparison.
You can't really be surprised that 90% of people that I know are somehow tied to the education system, though. =)
For what it's worth, here's the initial outcome of the corporate access to websites poll that I conducted last week. Again, look for a further explanation/analysis in future posts:
| Percentage of Corporate Employees with Access | |
| external email (Hotmail, Gmail, etc.) | 83% |
| YouTube | 83% |
| Google Docs | 83% |
| 83% | |
| 83% | |
| None of the above | 8% |
**please note: While at first glance it appears that 83% of respondents had full access to all the sites listed, this is, in fact, not true. There were some variations in who had access to what -- the numbers just evened out at the end. I'll discuss it in more detail in later posts :)
Are you surprised that the same amount of corporate employees and teachers have zero access to the websites listed? Any other initial reactions? Feel free to comment below.

My main point was just to have a simplistic comparison between the education and corporate worlds. I would love to see results of an 'official' study rather than an impromptu poll as we continue to debate the merits of unlocking websites in education.
Until I find one, I'm going to have to rely on my ad-hoc survey style :)
