Leaders in Educational Technology

The Learning Technology Center (LTC) is Illinois’ technology system of support for K-12 school districts and educators. We are a program of the Illinois State Board of Education focused on bringing tomorrow’s technology to today’s classrooms.

As an educator-led organization, we know the importance of technology in the modern learning environment. That is why we work across the state to develop services, programs, and resources that make a meaningful, lasting impact on educators and technology professionals.

Our scope is broad, our work is diverse, and our team and partners are dedicated. We are the LTC.
