This year we have approximately 70 presentations and workshops in addition to keynote addresses by Carl Falsgraf at the University of Oregon and Leo van Lier at the Monterey Institute for International Studies. This conference also serves as the Spring meeting for the SouthWest Association for Language Learning Technology (SWALLT) and is a great opportunity to network with friendly technology-knowledgable language educators from your area! The conference will be held on the California State University Monterey Bay campus overlooking the beautiful Monterey Bay. Conference Theme: Theory and Practice: Foreign Language Pedagogy with Evolving Technology Technology is on the move--it's hard to keep up--but what are you doing in your classrooms and programs to keep apace with the current cycle of technollogy transformation? Over the past decade the power and availability technology has increased dramatically while costs have fallen steadily. Additionally, teachers and students are becoming increasingly tech-savvy. Teachers can do more with their technology and they can expect more from their students. But, have we evolved tech-savvy classroom pedagogy? The 2005 DigitalStream Conference seeks to address this issue.
