The Learning Technology Center, in partnership with state agencies, organizations, and districts, facilitates advisory and working groups to increase engagement and develop relevant services.

ILTPP Ambassadors

The ILTPP Ambassador program is focused on bringing together edtech pacemakers from around the state and putting their shared wisdom into action. In turn, it empowers K-12 educators and technology leaders to play a central role in influencing the edtech landscape, both in and beyond their district.

In addition to championing the program’s benefits, Ambassadors contribute their insights to ILTPP publications, collaborate with fellow tech leaders, and provide valuable feedback that shapes ILTPP’s new and ongoing initiatives.

Interest in becoming an ILTPP Ambassador? Contact Amanda Bruns for more information.
