EdTech Leadership Network

ETLN LogoWelcome to CTAP Region 3 EdTech Leadership Network (ETLN). ETLN is a group of teachers and educators who have an interest in using technology in the classroom. We meet 9 times a year for a casual dinner, some staff development, training, sharing resources, and time to network and discuss all things educational technology.

There is no charge to participate in ETLN and we encourage you to attend and share what's going on in your school or classroom with technology. It's a great opportunity to get acquainted with CTAP and other technology using educators in Region 3.
