Technology & Innovation in Education (TIE)

General information

At TIE we believe that educational stakeholders and communities should embrace the potential challenges and changes of the future with confidence and high expectations. We are all stakeholder/leaders who must have a vision of and accept responsibility for what students should know and be able to do because of their academic experience.

Leaders begin with their vision and plan learning opportunities, assessment approaches, and instructional practices. Technology, curriculum, and assessment must be recognized as the compelling tools of action for the twenty-first century. Research and reason tell us that change is a fact of life—an opportunity with challenges—and innovative technology is the strategy, means, and methodology essential for guiding, managing, and processing the journey.

We believe that technology is a powerful tool for educational leaders and for educational leadership. It can provide a broad base for personal and/or professional learning/development through various electronic and human networks. It can provide the venue and avenue for modeling exemplary and compelling practice while making student-centered learning a reality. When technology is an integral, integrated part of the educational process, curriculum and assessment come to life and success is not the exception, but rather the expectation for all.
