About the ETC Group

The mission of The ETC Group is to provide assistance with technology to educators who are creating better learning environments for children. We believe that only the teacher in the classroom can change the quality of education.

The ETC Group has special interests in technology because we believe that, well used, technology can improve learning. ETC Consultants are available to assist educators, nonprofit organizations, and small to mid-sized businesses with project design and management, Web knowledge work, technology integration into curriculum and professional productivity, and grantsmanship.
