                               invites you to attend

                           Technology in Context:
             A Critical Conference on Technology in Education

                                    on
                         Saturday, June 11th, 1994

Everyday another article touts new technologies as the way of the future.
They promise to make our lives faster, better, newer and more improved.
But beneath the hype and excitement of their seemingly boundless
possibilities, some fundamental issues demand to be explored:

         o How can technology be used to enhance education?
         o How do we ensure fair and equal access to these powerful, new
           tools? And what happens to those left behind?
         o How does the use of technology fit into a given philosophy of
           education?
         o How do we intelligently evaluate software for children?
         o How will new technology alter-perhaps drastically-our
           approach to education?

Through a full day of workshop presentations and roundtable discussions,
Technology in Context will critically examine these and other questions.
Featured roundtables include:

         *Barrier or Bridge: Examining Technology's Impact on Issues of
          Equity in Education

        *Wired for Change: Transforming Telecommunications
         Technology into a Tool for Education Reform

Whether you're a techno-phobic principal, a plugged-in new teacher, or a
district administrator curious about the possibilities-and problems-
inherent in these new technologies, Technology in Context will be certain
to provide you with some stimulating insights during a day of dialogue,
discussion, and discovery.
