What is TIE

The organization’s purpose is to make a difference in the education environment by providing quality service, and staying on top of cutting-edge technology and training strategies.

TIE’s early projects focused on providing K-12 technology integration and training to teachers, developing an online repository for teacher-created lesson plans, and establishing community technology opportunity centers in schools throughout SD. These projects were funded through various grants, including two Technology Innovation Challenge Grants totaling over 12 million awarded by the US Department of Education.

Today TIE curates lesson resources, provides instruction for the best uses of internet tools and provides customized support on the best pedagogical strategies to support learning. TIE strives to be a source of professional development which assists and empowers educational communities to respond productively and responsibly in a networked global society. Today’s professional development incorporates current technologies with traditional strategies to provide participants with experiences focused on their current practice, meeting learners where they are and taking them to where they want to be.
