SITE Position Paper: Statement of Basic Principles and Suggested Action ('Ames White Paper')
The SITE position paper known as the "Ames White Paper" was developed at Iowa State Univ. in response to a request from Linda Roberts, and presented at the "White House Conference on Technology Training for Teachers" in Washington, D.C. on April 24, 1998. The recommendations flowing from this conference provided the impetus for the subsequent "Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology" initiative.
