Georgia Association for Instructional Technology, Inc.

This association's purpose is to better education through the use of media and technology. GAIT was designed to expand and diversify information and communication technology and improve instruction through the systematic development, utilization, and management of learning resources.

Members are drawn from a diverse collection of public school educators, corporate trainers, college media directors, university professors, library/media specialists, and more.

GAIT and their affiliates believe that "technology is interpreted as a process, not merely in terms of hardware, but in terms of learners and their relationships to people, places, and things through which they learn."
~ GAIT website

The National Affiliation for GAIT is the National Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT).

GAIT is also informally associated with the Georgia Council of Media Organizations (GaCOMO).
