Technology Learning Cooperative (TLC)

The Technology Learning Cooperative (TLC) is part of North Dakota Career and Technical Education’s Emerging Technology project, which began as a High Tech Initiative in the late 1980s. Emerging Technology consortia, each with 6 to 20+ member schools, rotate technology-based equipment among participating schools. This rotation allows schools to share costs while keeping expensive equipment in continuous use, rather than letting it sit unused once a class or unit is completed. As a result, both students and teachers benefit from year-round access to up-to-date technology.

Member Schools (17):

  • Dakota Prairie Public Schools (Petersburg)
  • Devils Lake Central Middle School
  • Devils Lake High School
  • Fessenden/Bowdon Public School
  • Four Winds High School
  • Lake Area Career & Technology Center (Devils Lake)
