1999
Annual Conference
The InfoMart –
Dallas,
Texas |
| This is an annual conference designed to
convene educators from colleges, universities and
high schools, both public and private, as well as
corporate trainers who are interested in the
application of computer technology to teaching and
learning throughout Texas. This year, the
conference will focus on our theme --
Are You Ready? |
| As
technology races forward, we educators need to
understand the current trends of information
technology and (as much as possible) understand
where we are headed. The 1999 ACET
Conference will include presentations designed to
inform and prepare our membership for the
future. In Computer Technology, the future
is ever-changing and sometimes we wonder how we
are going to keep up. As you look toward the
next year, ask yourself the question --
Are You Ready?
