Many new public and private sector collaborations have been the result, and this conference explores the implications of these changes for the education profession. The profession has focused on the various ethical issues concerned with the expansion of the Internet, and with questions of ownership of the medium, censorship, and cost of access. As the importance of telecommunications in education gains recugnition, it also gains momentum. These proceedings portray the projects, discoveries, experiments, and experiences gained by educators throughout the world. Veronica, Archie, World Wide Web (WWW), file transfer protocol (FTP), wide area information servers (WAIS), Gopher, Mosaic, and many other network searching tools are presented in the workshops and demonstration sessions. Four broad themes are discussed: communication, community, collaboration, and connection. Information is exchanged about new technologies and trends, research issues, and how communications technology can most effectively support educational reform. Two novelties are introduced in this conference: an open channel for juried submissions, resulting in several contributions of academically excellent papers; and a public debate, which closes the conference.

ISTE and other conference sponsors are delighted to provide this international forum for you and other leaders in educational telecommunications. This event brings together representatives from the diverse world of education including: educa- tors from across North America; state departments of education executives; leaders from over- seas ministries of education; representatives from state and local governments; representatives from public sector organizations; and a broad cross-section of private sector vendors and service providers. Since we last met at TelEd '93, new initiatives have provided educators with exciting resources to develop local, regional, and national infrastructures. As a result, many new public and private sector collaborations have been forged. It is a truly rewarding and challenging time to work in educational technology. But what do these changes mean to our profession and its aims? We meet now to assess new opportunities while exploring four broad themes: communication, community, collaboration, and connection. We will form a temporary network to facilitate the development of the technol- ogy and strategy required for implementing the Global and National Information Infrastructure. Our TelEd '94 network will provide: A means of exchanging information about new technologies and trends. A better understanding of research issues. Insights into how communications technologies can most effectively support educational reform. In formal discussions and casual meetings we will deepen our knowledge of the policies that affect, reshape, and rebuild educational communities. By learning from one another we can reach our shared goals. We are grateful to the Conference Planning Committee, ISTE, and the conference cosponsors for devoting their extraordinary efforts and contributions to this exciting conference. We hope TelEd '94 will be both productive and enjoyable, and we look forward to meeting you the next few days. Kathy Kothmann Connie Stout Conference Co-Chairs The proceedings of the Third International Symposium for Telecommunications in Education are the ultimate evidence of the vast scope of presentations offered to the participants of TelEd '94. Scanning the pages of the paper edition, or browsing through the CD-ROM version of the TelEd '94 proceedings, the reader can fully assess the state of the art of telecommunications in the international education society. This last year has focused attention on various ethical issues concerned with the expansion of the Internet. The questions of ownership of the medium', censorship, and cost of access are only a that which gained public attention. You will find these in the spotlight of TelEd '94. As the importance of telecommunications in education gains recognition, it also gains momen- tum. These proceedings best portray both quantity and quality of projects, discoveries, experi- ments, and experiences gained by scores of teachers around the globe. The advance of the technology, as well as the unprecedented amounts of information, prepared the scene for a vast array of tools and methods to scan, surf, ride, mine, and search the "net." Veronica and Archie, WWW, FTP and WAIS, Gopher, Mosaic, and many others are combined in the workshops and demonstration sessions of this conference. At this symposium we are introducing two novelties. First, a public debate will be the closing spotlight event of the conference. All participants are invited to share their views and opinions on.the some of the issues that will shape the tomorrow of telecommunications. Second, we opened a channel for juried submissions. We feel it is the time for TelEd to recognize pa' -7`, that are academically excellent. Several contributors found it important to publish their work with us here and make these proceedings and TelEd '94 even more attrac- tive. Making a "Global Village" come true requires global participation. TelEd '94 emphasized the international scope of our conference. In these proceedings and, moreover, on the presentation podium, we will meet many friends from distant lands. To those who have traveled from afar and to those who come from nearby we would like to extend a warm welcome to TelEd '94. Use these proceedings to recapture the importance of the contributions made on-site and as reference in your future work.
