Welcome to TEC21. We’re the front door to the world of technology. We want to give Lutheran educators the key.

Through unique, inspiring workshops, TEC21 equips teachers serving in Lutheran schools to use technology to engage, motivate and educate children for life. We bring educators together to examine, question, evaluate and understand technology, and develop practical applications for the classroom. We sustain learning through a collaborative, online peer-coaching community.

Why?

We want Lutheran schools to be places of excellence where Christ’s love and grace are shared daily. We want Lutheran schools to be “schools of choice” in their communities. We’re dedicated to fostering a culture of innovation, creativity and relevancy in the Lutheran school classroom.

For Educators

Technology can take you and your students to extraordinary places. TEC21 workshops show you the way.

For Administrators

Jump your school to the forefront of education. Give your team compelling technology tools to help kids excel.

“I am amazed by what has occurred in eleven years with the partnerships in ministry we’ve formed with so many schools. In year one, we launched our program with two schools. In year two we grew to four. In years three through thirteen we grew to 11, 15, 47, 65, 119, 142, 164, 211, 247, 275, and 298 respectively. In year 13, our program will equip, train, encourage and support 1,186 teachers and impact tens of thousands of students throughout 17 districts of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. Additionally, we are ministry partners with Asia Lutheran Education Association and Concordia International School Shanghai collaborating in order to support teachers serving in four Lutheran schools in the Philippines. These numbers are evidence, I believe, of the urgency educators feel to keep pace with rapid technological change.”
