Who we are:

WyTEL is the professional organization for K-12 leaders of educational technology in Wyoming.

We believe...

  • Technology is vital for education.
  • Technology is a tool, not a means.
  • Every student deserves equitable access to technology.
  • Technology should always support and reinforce learning, never precede it.

To Support Education, Technology:

  • Removes barriers for collaboration and teamwork.
  • Gives students and teachers access to the most up-to-date information more quickly and easily.
  • Ensures learning is not confined by walls or constrained by schedules; learning can easily extend outside the classroom.
  • Provides efficient and effective assessment and data analysis, leaving more time for data-based and targeted instruction.

WyTEL Supports Students & Learning By:

  • Providing reliable and fast Internet and network infrastructure (improves access to information and collaboration).
  • Keeping technology current (fast and reliable devices, equipment & software).
  • Ensuring equitable, safe, and reliable access to technology (continually improving access to learning tools such as remote access, cloud-based services, classroom management tools, etc.).
  • Advocating for the development of educational technology leaders within education.
  • Providing for ongoing professional development of educational technology leaders in current and evolving industry standards.
  • Ensuring that educational technology is fully integrated into the educational process and supports effective teaching and learning.
  • Facilitating learning from a broader community of educational technology leaders represented by CoSN.
