PROCEEDINGS
-----------
Accepted papers will be published by AACE in the Technology and Teacher
Education Annual series.  Books in this series serve as major source
documents indicating the current state of teacher education and technology.
Each conference attendee receives a copy of the Proceedings at the
conference as part of the registration package.

Additional copies of the 1993 Annual and proceedings from previous years
are available from AACE.

PAPER AWARDS
------------
All presented papers will be considered for Best Paper Awards. Awards will
be made in several categories.  Award winning papers will be invited for
publication in the Journal of Technology and Teacher Education (premieres
Autumn 1992).  These papers will also be highlighted in the AACE
Newsletter.

INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPATION
-----------------------------
All program participants will be expected to:
  o Register for and attend the conference
  o Prepare written material for the Proceedings

CONFERENCE PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
-----------------------------
The Conference Program includes a wide range of interesting and useful
activities including keynote speakers, paper presentations, poster/
demonstration sessions, hands-on workshops, birds-of-a-feather meetings,
and panel sessions.

Papers (25 minutes)

Papers on all aspects of information technology and teacher education are
invited.  Accepted paper  presentations are also published in the
Technology and Teacher Education Annual, 1993.  Due to time limitations
some paper proposals may be accepted as poster sessions.

Panels (1 hour)

Panels will consist of at least three members presenting different aspects
of a relevant issue and interacting with the audience to widen the
discussion.

Posters/Demonstrations (1 hour)

Poster and Demonstration sessions enable educators, researchers and non-
commercial developers to demonstrate and discuss recent results and
research/development in progress.  These sessions do not involve a formal
presentation.  Instead, they provide opportunities for conference attendees
to talk with presenters one-on-one in a less formal context.  Presenters
discuss their work in detail with those attendees most interested in the
topic.

Pre-Conference Workshops (half-day)

Pre-Conference Workshops are intended to provide in-depth professional
development opportunities in specific or current interest areas, targeted
toward specific audiences with unique needs.  Whenever possible, they
should include a hands-on activity and should emphasize developing new
skills and professional understanding for the participant.

Birds-of-a-Feather

Birds-of-a-Feather sessions will generally be scheduled over a lunch break
or during the evening dinner period.  Their purpose is to encourage
discussion of common interests, problems, or goals and to gather and
exchange ideas.  If you would like to host a birds-of-a-feather session,
submit the name of the session and a brief description of the purpose.
