ITEA'S TECHNOLOGY INTEREST GROUPS
All individuals are invited to join ITEA's Technology Interest Groups (TIG). TIGs are designed to facilitate dialogue between professionals with an interest in specific technological issues or initiatives. These forums were created for the purpose of sharing information, advancing education, and creating progress in the study of technology, innovation, design, and engineering education. Non ITEA members may join any one TIG at no cost. ITEA members may join as many TIGs as desired. Sign up today!
Each TIG has one or more moderators who will assist in guiding the discussion through a forum designed to advance learning. Participants are asked to share their knowledge as they help educators remain on the forefront of the specific focus of each TIG. Participants are also asked to provide support to the group by always responding in a positive way, refrain from selling or marketing products, and having the interests of teaching and learning at heart.
We hope that you will share your interests, expertise, and passion for learning as a TIG learning community member. Information about face-to-face opportunities with other TIG members will become available as the ITEA conference approaches each year. TIG activities will be scheduled in the conference program and accompanying tradeshow featuring further opportunities and discussions of interest.
We hope you will enjoy the TIG learning experience.

Design - This forum is dedicated to those interested in the topic of design. As a member of this community you can post topics, communicate privately with other members, respond to polls, upload content, and access many other special features. Design is defined in the Standards for Technological Literacy as the interactive decision making process that produces plans by which resources are converted into products or systems that meet the human needs and wants to solve problems (ITEA, 2002). In this Design TIG, you can discuss issues regarding curriculum, research, sample projects, and anything else related to design. Moderator - Scott Warner, Millersville University. |
