There were some wonderful happenings: a serendipitous confluence of ideas with needs, of vision with determination, and of sheer happenstance In the spring of 1990 a professor at East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, received a grant from the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina System. They offered grants as part of the Visiting Scholars program to help teacher education programs bring nationally known experts to local campuses. Helen Harrington's grant represented the request of the Eastern North Carolina Teacher Education Consortium (ENCTEC), consisting of four area teacher education programs: Atlantic Christian College, ECU, Elizabeth City State University, and North Carolina Wesleyan University. She asked for $60,000 but received only $12,000. Dr. Harrington mentioned the problem of underfunding to another ECU professor, Jerry Willis. For a number of years Willis had been toying with the idea of a conference where researchers, practitioners, and professors interested in information technology in teacher education could meet and exchange ideas. The grant might be just enough for that and, when presented with had many of the the idea, ENCTEC agreed. The conference from then on, in Willis' and Harrington's words, ". . . earmarks of an Andy Hardy movie." As one of the early 'convert-the-barn-to-a-theater' stagehands (Note from J. Willis: Dee Anna was much more than a stage hand; she was an active participant in policy making and planning as well.) I can attest to a somewhat surreal atmosphere combined with a lot of labor that began almost immediately and resembled a three-ring-circus sort of barn production. Invitations were also sent to about 50 A call for papers was published in the Chronicle of Higher Education. scholars known to be interested in the topic. We expected 15 to 25 proposals. Considering this modest estimate we joined forces with public schools in Eastern North Carolina and combined our conference with one for K-12 personnel interested in using technology. Crossover attendance was encouraged. We began to believe we could 'fill the barn' or at least not end up with an empty one. Our two rings were in place. We knew we could 'fill the barn' when our part of the conference received over three times the number of proposals expected. A large number of the papers presented were then published in a special triple issue of Computers in the Schools. Excitement began to build; we worked hard to put the program together; and Michael Apple was invited to address the conference. Letters and calls flew back and forth (e-mail wasn't quite so pervasive then) explaining that it was Greenville NORTH Carolina not Greenville SOUTH Carolina. And then the Third Ring of our circus came into play. Due to the cost of having the conference on campus we decided to go off campus to a local hotel. The conference was scheduled for May10-12th and we had booked a number of conference rooms as well as their main ballroom, which could be divided into several smaller rooms. We learned after the conference began that a senior prom was scheduled into the ballroom for one of the intervening nights. We could not simply lock up all the equipment in the ballroom. Each room's equipment had to be dismantled and ported to storage only to be reassembled the following morning. A few of us hung around that night to see gloriously dressed young people arrive giggling and trying to Throughout the remainder of the conference act mature, to act as if they already existed in an exciting future. What a random balloons drifted down from the ceiling and glitter appeared in strange and unusual places. wonderful metaphor for what was to become the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education. Remembering that conference I feel we took some of that magic back to our classrooms and even today there are balloons are on the ceiling and glitter sticks to our monitors at strange and unexpected times. That first conference must have been success as we were called back for an encore in Greenville. At this second conference attendees decided we should make this a yearly thing and discussion flowed around affiliating ourselves with already established groups. A number of us were tired of having the interests of technology-using teacher educators take second or third, or fourth, place behind other interests at other conferences, and we had truly reveled in having a conference just for ourselves, where we didn't have to plead for space nor see all our sections scheduled at the same time. One suggestion, that Jerry and I keep doing it all, delivered at a time when I'd been running on nervous energy for days, brought forth flames from my mouth (I hope I've been forgiven). We were already too big 4 for that. In the years following the first conference we did organize ourselves (I use the term organized in the true Willisian sense, i. e., as little organizing as possible and still function) into the Society for Technology and Teacher Education, STATE. I argued that Teacher Education should come first, but the Founder and First President, Jerry Willis, liked the acronym to spell something and we thought it catchy; we knew teacher education was first in our hearts. By 1992 we had elected to move under the umbrella organization of the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) who handles the business side of the organization, the conference, the annual, and the journal. We remained STATE until a few years ago when STATE became SITTE the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education. It wasn't until the society truly started thinking in more international terms, and had our first Vice President for International Affairs, Brent Robinson, that we were convinced the name needed to be changed, to sound less like it was just for the 'States.' USA citizens had trouble, too, getting funding to go to STATE, because fiscal sorts thought they were going to something in their home state. Somewhere along the line we learned that most of the rest of the world defined technology as what we in the US consider industrial technology. And what we thought of as technology the rest of the world called information technology. Our second president, Glen Bull, rejoiced in our new name, the Society for Information Technology Terrible puns on SITE and sight, inSITE and insight, bounced like silly putty balls in and Teacher Education. meetings. Having fmished the name game, thoughts turned to a constitution. The Founder's view of "Rules! We don't need no stinkin' rules!" had to give way somewhat to formalizing our collective beliefs, just in case. Sweat equity rules, i.e., s/he who sweats, rules, needed to be put in place. And somewhere it needed to be written that one continuing mission of the Society was to give aid and comfort to new members in the profession. Jerry, the other editors, and I saw a number of first papers that were truly awful, but second and third works from the same author that were wonderfully improved. Poor first presentations gave way the next year to more polished, thoughtful ones. And this didn't happen because we didn't accept Iffy proposals but because we did. And because Section Editors worked hard to get papers ready to publish and 'baby docs saw their thoughts and theories presented in a professional maimer. And they saw and experienced other professionals and were able to sit down and share ideas with them. That we the Society have grown too large to edit the papers in time for the Annual and the conference saddens me. For the first time this year, there has been no editing of the papers that were submitted. What you get is what you I worry about that, in part because I have been a journal editor long enough to know that most of the papers sent. authors consider ready for publication can be improved considerably by good editing. However, as Gary Marks has Still, I'm sad to pointed out for a number of years, other conferences have used the camera ready model for years. see that part of our support system go. But at the same time it makes me truly proud to have had a hand in this. Gone are the days when I knew almost everyone at the conference by face if not by name. This rather grandmotherly feeling is what prompted this mini-history lesson; we have so many new and eager members who just might wonder where it all began - tell them, "In Greenville, NORTH Carolina." Yesterday, I received a conference bulletin from the International Reading Association. The theme of this year's conference is "Write the Past; Read the Future". And while I remain a Reading Person, I'm proud to say that in SITE we read the past and the present and we write the future.
