SALT or the Society for Applied Learning Technology is an organization that allows individuals who work in the field of applies leaning technology to have access to information and support from other professionals in the same field of experience. The organization was founded in 1972 and is a professional society where members participate in society sponsored meetings. The society holds conferences that cover technology applications such as elearning, web-based training, instructional systems design and a varitey of other applications. Those who attend these conferences are given the opportunity to learn and become familiar with the latest technical information available. This Society sounds like a very good organizations for the teachers who use a lot of technologies in their classrooms or that are computer teachers. It seems like a great way to become familiar with the new technology and it appears to offer great support from people who share the same interests. I would like to know what kind of publications they have, and if the conferences are opened to people who are not members of the Society. I would also like to see if there are other organizations out there who offer the same type of support and encouragement.
