Technology and Innovation in Education (TIE)

Advancing effective educational technology statewide and leading South Dakota schools in practices that improve instruction, assessment, professional development, and leadership. TIE hosts South Dakota's biggest educators' training event, the TIE Conference, each April.

TIE provides services to organizations, focused on current technologies or recent innovations, and we mostly do so for those in the education sector, though we are available to work with any group.

TIE has a membership that consists of most public schools in South Dakota, in addition to other organizations in the region. Membership comes with benefits, such as reduced conference rates and vendor discounts, but our services are available to non-members as well.

We can travel to your school for onsite face-to-face learning, couple a face-to-face event with online support, or create an entirely online customized learning experience for your staff using the latest innovative technologies.
