The first group to recognize the need to have an organization that would address technology needs in Alabama was the Alabama Council for Computers in Education (ACCE) which later became the Alabama Council for Technology in Education (ACTE). Anyone interested in the advancement of technology could join. Current or honorary AETA members who were members of this early organization are Donna Williamson and Fran Pridgeon. At one time, ACTE sponsored a technology organization for students in all grades. Currently ACTE sponsors regional and state technology fairs. ACTE also sponsored state technology conferences until the state took over this project. Past presidents of ACTE include Ron Wright, Alabama State Department of Education, Jim Burney, and others. As ACTE began to fade as an organization outside their sponsorship of the technology fairs, new developments made it essential for another organization to be created to address growing and changing technology.
