SITE promotes the development and dissemination of theoretical knowledge, conceptual research, and professional practice knowledge through conferences, books, projects, and the Journal of Technology and Teacher Education (JTATE).

Participants are invited to attend this annual international forum, which offers numerous opportunities to share ideas, explore research, development, and applications, and to network with the leaders in the important field of teacher education and technology.

There are over 1,500 presentations in 25 major topic areas.

Teachers and school leaders are invited to participate in sessions on practical, effective ways to teach with technology in today's schools.

Classroom-related, practical sessions will be offered on most SITE Conference topics, and educational leaders can share practical ways to bridge conventional school practice with informal learning.
