Brown Convention Center Houston, Texas 3 Introduction The theme of this conference, Window to the Future, representsthe view of TCEA about the importance and the relevance of technologyto education. The papers in this Proceedings Book will provideyou not only with the perspectives of some of today's practicing professionals about where technology may be headed but also with useful information to helpyou move toward your personal view of the future role of computing in education. The Proceedings Book is the official record of the presentations madeat the 1989 TCEA state-wide conference. But these contributionsare only abstracts of the real interactions each speaker intended to occur. Youare encouraged to read between the lines to imagine the full impact of each presentation. This Proceedings Book could not have been completed without the cooperation of all the speakers who made contributions. Thanksgo to each one of them for their efforts. Special thanks, too, go to Arnold Goldberg, who designed the cover, and to Mary Louise Grigassy who maintained the files of papers, developed the database from which the Table of Contents and Index were creased, and managed the communication with each of the contributors. It has been a pleasure to work with her. George W.
