Education Technology Labs™ is a non-profit research and development corporation, promoting school districts and the public sector to work together with continuously improved, supported, open source technology. Cooperation brings a better long term solution, with a structure for continuous improvement. The resulting programs are supported at commercial strength, but provided as open source to members, at no license fee. Both administrative software and district prepared curriculum can be shared through the same structure. Districts help one another, and the commercial strength software implemented is not at risk of being bought and shelved by a competing company as has so often been the case.

We work with Timpanogos Technologies who offer commercial strength support, at whatever level is needed. School districts have often been very willing to share what they have, but they cannot use their internal resources to install, train and support other users. With no structure to share and no structure for support, sharing has not been effective. Timpanogos Technologies fills that key ingredient for cooperative sharing to work. It is an employee owned company where valued people use and grow their skills, knowledge, professionalism and talents, helping customers and enjoying what they are doing -- promoting school districts and the public sector to work together with continuously improved, supported, open source technology.

Our initial core emphasis is on school districts using IBM iSeries™.
