WELCOME

ICTE is a truly international conference held in Europe and in North America in alternate years. In 1996, however, due to unforeseen organizational reasons, the Conference will be in New Orleans -- a second year running in North America -- returning to Europe in 1997.

ICTE typically attracts Delegates from over forty nations. Nearly half 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.). These presenters are chosen by a Conference Program Committee from abstracts submitted before the Conference. Presentations are published in the Conference Proceedings, which may be ordered by Delegates and which are also ordered by numerous academic librarians.

From March 17 - 20, 1996, ICTE NEW ORLEANS '96 will focus on:

Technology and Communications: Catalyst for Educational Change

At this unique educational conference, you will learn about exciting technological innovations that are expanding and expediting learning experiences through appropriate application of technology to school curricula and instruction.

There will be ten sub-themes, each examining a particular aspect of developments and progress and each with an invited keynote speaker. 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.

WHO WILL ATTEND AND WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

For the past twelve 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 it's Delegates. It is a time to exchange ideas, to get up to date, and to meet colleagues from all over the world.

WHERE IS THE SITE?

Nestled in a bend of the great American Mississippi River near the Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans, known as the "Crescent City", is known around the world for it's music, food, tantalizing culture and, of course, Mardi Gras. Though ICTE will be held after Mardi Gras, the celebratory ambiance remains throughout the year. Jazz and zydeco, Cajun and Creole, po-boys and muffulettas, the French Quarter -- there aren't many cities that can compare with what New Orleans has to offer. ICTE Delegates will look into their technological futures in an urban environment which is firmly rooted in it's historical past.

The Conference will be at the Radisson Hotel New Orleans, located at 1500 Canal Street, near the downtown area and just two blocks from the historic French Quarter.

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 developing new connections and opening new horizons for Delegates.
