SITE+Conference

Flat Stanley Attends International Conference While you were visiting Theresa, she needed to go to South Carolina for a business trip to the conference for the Society for Information Technology in Teacher Education (SITE). She took you with her! Here you are at the registration desk getting your nametag and all the booklets and papers that people get at a conference. You went to many presentations where people talked about their work in the field of using technology in the classroom and about teaching current teachers (called "in-service teachers") and future teachers (called "pre-service teachers") about using computers and other technology in their classroom. There was a big welcome celebration the first night that had a luau theme. 2009 was the 20th birthday of SITE so the welcome celebration was a birthday party as well. It was a time for all the people attending the conference to meet each other and get to know each other. There were over 700 people from over 40 countries at the conference. The decorations were Hawaiian to go with the luau theme. You enjoyed riding on the balloons where you could watch all the fun.
