> Since ISTE conducted the First International Symposium on
> Telecommunications in Education in 1989, the use of telecommunications
> in education has grown rapidly across the globe.  Today, hundreds of
> telecommunications networks and projects enable many students and
> teachers to engage in collaborative educational projects, thereby
> creating "windows on the world" in the classroom.
>
> Advances in technology, increased pressures to improve education,
> changes in world political landscapes, and the resulting policy issues
> create a challenging backdrop for the Second International Symposium on

> on the applications of this new technology to education.
>
> The conference (which should attract about 1,000 educators,
