Contrasts
| ICTE Santa Fe 1998 From March 8 - 11, 1998, the 15th annual International Conference on Technology and Education will convene in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the Sweeney Convention Center. ICTE Santa Fe 1998 will be attended by Delegates from over fifty nations. Over one third of the Delegates at the Conference contribute some prepared presentation to the Conference sub-themes (a paper, a poster session, a lab, a workshop, etc.). Presenters will be chosen by a Conference Program Committee from abstracts submitted to the ICTE Program Committee. Conference Proceedings will be published and will be available following the Conference. Proceedings may be ordered by Delegates, and are also available to academic librarians and other institutions. ICTE Santa Fe 1998 will focus on:
|
 Native American and Hispanic peoples contribute significantly to the multi-cultural and multiethnic diversity of New Mexico |
The Conference will provide a forum for both educational futurists and
pragmatists, and will look at alternative processes, procedures, techniques and tools for
creating learning environments appropriate to the twenty-first century. There will be ten
sub-themes, each examining a particular aspect of developments and progress. There will
also be four plenary session presentations from internationally recognized leaders in the
theoretical and practical application of technology in education which will have an
interest for the whole Conference. Implementation of technology in the classroom, and a
variety of successful and innovative models, will be featured. Low budget technologies for
the classroom, human / computer interface issues for education and learning, and the
status of virtual universities will be addressed. Special reports to Delegates will focus
on Information Technology in education in the Southwestern US, worldwide
telecommunications networks for learning and related technologies, and the current status
of virtual universities. Pre-Conference sessions will focus on distance learning, the
Internet, and related workshops and seminars.
WHO WILL ATTEND AND WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
For the past fifteen years, ICTE has attracted participants from every sector of our
worldwide educational community, including teachers, professors, researchers,
trainers, administrators, and resource providers (curriculum developers, publishers and
suppliers). The sub-themes reflect this diversity of interest and give an opportunity
for Delegates to move freely into areas with which they are less familiar if they so wish.
The Conference thus provides a unique opportunity to benefit from the professional
expertise of its Delegates. It is a time to exchange ideas, to get up-to-date, and to meet
colleagues from all over the world.

WHAT IS THE FORMAT? The program is designed to facilitate a variety of presentational styles and formats. In addition to traditional papers and panels, we encourage proposals for debates, discussions in the round, demonstrations and whatever may contribute to opening new connections and horizons for Delegates. |
