| TIE is a Colorado-based
organization founded in 1986 by a group of teachers with a vision of
the important role technology would play in education. Today, with
over 1200 members, TIE has become the premier training
institute in Colorado. TIE is organized by a governing board of
9 volunteers. TIE's major objective is to host a four day,
hands-on conference in a mountain community during early summer that
models the use of technology integration into the classroom. Last
year's conference featured over 165 different workshops and spot light
sessions with over 140 different presenters, mostly classroom
teachers. Registration for the annual TIE Conference opens
approximately the 1st of March each year. Due to the popularity of the
conference, registration is often closed by the end of March. TIE
takes pride in a hands-on approach to training. Through the generous
contributions of Colorado school districts, the last conference had
350 computers on location providing better than a 3 to 1 ratio of
attendees to computers.
TIE always welcomes new presenters, corporate sponsors,
vendors and, of course, members. If you have additional questions
