            TEL-ED '93 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

Since the First International Symposium on Telecommunications in Education
was held in Israel in 1989, the use of telecommunications in education has
grown rapidly around the globe.  Today, thousands of telecommunications
networks and projects enable many students and teachers to engage in
collaborative educational projects, thereby creating "windows to 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
Telecommunications in Education, Tel-Ed '93, to be held at InfoMart in
Dallas, TX, USA, November 10-13, 1993.

The Tel-Ed '93 symposium, *Global Connections*, will give leaders in
educational telecommunications a forum in which to learn about
rapidly-advancing developments in telecommunications technologies; to
debate key policy issues; and to share experiences, ideas, insights, and
research findings on the applications of this new technology to education.

The conference (which should attract about 1,000 educators, policymakers,
and researchers) is designed to let participants see demonstrations of
successful educational telecommunications and distance learning projects,
as well as discuss emerging telecommunications and distance learning
technology trends.

                        INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

You are invited to participate in the TEL-ED '93 conference by presenting a
