We invite you to be a presenter this spring on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, Arizona, March 15 - 17, 2010, for the 30th Annual Microcomputers in Education Conference.

Based upon input from past presenters and attendees, along with attention to current and emerging policies and practices, we are actively soliciting proposals that are reflective of one or more of the following program tracks:
• Learning and Technology

• Leadership and Accountability
• Multimedia to Enhance Learning
