About InnEdCO

Innovative Education Colorado (InnEdCO) formerly TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION COLORADO, INC. (TIE) is a Colorado-based organization founded in 1986 by a group of teachers with a vision of hosting a conference focusing on the increasing role technology plays in education.

Today, InnEdCO organizes the premier statewide conference helping teachers integrate technological tools with 21st Century skills, including technology and information literacy standards, into all content areas. InnEdCO is organized and managed by a governing board of ten volunteers. Its major objective is to organize a four-day, hands-on, technology-focused conference each summer that models and promotes the use of technology integration into the classroom. Last year’s conference highlighted 100+ different workshops, featured speaker sessions, and round-tables with more than 170 different presenters and co-presenters, primarily classroom teachers.

Registration for the annual InnEdCO conference opens late January to early February every year and, due to the popularity of the conference, participants are encouraged to register early. InnEdCO takes pride in a hands-on approach in many of the sessions offered at the conference. Through the generous contributions of Colorado school districts, last year’s conference utilized over 400 computers, approximately a two-to-one ratio of attendees to computers.

InnEdCO always welcomes new presenters, corporate sponsors, vendors, and attendees. If you have additional questions regarding InnEdCO, contact any of the TIE board members via e-mail.
