CIT is also an excellent opportunity to showcase your current innovations and future plans. CIT offers a diverse program and cutting-edge exposition exploring the intelligent application of information technology in community and technical colleges. Celebrating 21 years of excellence, CIT features a technologically sophisticated and topically diverse program that helps educators explore, expand, and improve their use of technology. Dallas offers visitors a unique blend of Southwestern warmth, cosmopolitan flair, Old West charm, and modern sophistication. Come see why it's the #1 leisure and business destination in Texas! The Wyndham Anatole Hotel is just minutes from several of Dallas' entertainment centers, including the West End and Deep Ellum, as well as world-class shopping at North Park Mall and the Galleria. NEW SPECIAL FOCUS! Each year, Track One focuses on an emerging technology believed to be of particular interest to educators. For the 2005 CIT, the special focus for Track One is "Gaming and Simulations and Their Implications for Community Colleges." As increasing numbers of faculty members use games and simulations to support learning and more and more community colleges create gaming and simulations academic programs, what are the pros and cons educators should consider? Proposals targeted toward this focus area should encourage an exchange of ideas about how community colleges can anticipate and meet future educational, training, and organizational needs related to gaming and simulations. Although gaming and simulations are the special focus of the 2005 CIT, other proposal topics related to the use of information technology at community and technical colleges are strongly encouraged. WHAT PARTICIPANTS OF LAST YEAR'S CONFERENCE HAVE TO SAY: o "I've attended several national conferences and CIT was by far the best. I came home with an overwhelming amount of information." o "This was my first League conference, and I was extremely pleased." o "EXCELLENT conference! I packed in a lot of very usable information and techniques in a short amount of time!" o "I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. My head is stuffed with new ideas and plans for our institution." o "One of the best conferences I have attended in recent years." o "It was good to rub shoulders with others who love learning and are committed to excellence in higher education, especially in the area of technology."
