Company
History
In 2000,
Lisa Toulon was an independent contractor teaching classes for both
business and educational training companies. Having the ability to write
materials that were applicable in the classroom and a desire to provide
better, more cost effective service to schools, Ms. Toulon retained a
business consultant and formed LT Technologies as a sole proprietorship.
The
immediate and continuing extremely positive response from the teachers,
coupled with significant cost reductions to the school districts, led to
referrals. The ability to custom fit the varying needs of a variety
of school districts and to be an integral part of the district’s
technology planning spurred additional growth.
Throughout
this time Ms. Toulon continued her education and also taught graduate
classes for several local universities. Contacts with high
profile players in educational technology were made and projects such as
writing professional development materials, facilitating internet based
teaching, and educational research came into the fold.
LT Technologies has now become
LT Technologies, Inc., incorporated in Illinois in January 2005. The
company is a
Certified Professional Development Provider for the State of Illinois,
offering a wide range of technology solutions for our customers, all designed to effectively link teaching with
technology.
Our
President
Lisa Toulon has been
involved in Education her entire life. Interested in becoming a teacher
since the time she helped her Mother in the classroom, she received a
Bachelors of Arts in Education from the
University
of
Illinois
and spent the next twelve years in the classroom. During this time, Lisa
earned a Masters of Education in
Reading
and a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Technology in Education, both
from
National
Louis University
.
A passion for
educational technology led to the difficult decision of leaving the
classroom and becoming a consultant and per diem trainer for Educational
Resources. Besides training, Lisa correlated software to state goals for
Michigan
,
Texas
,
Illinois
,
Washington
and
Florida
along with designing professional development materials.
After
gaining three years of experience, Lisa formed
LT Technologies. Along with customizing materials and training teachers
K–12 to effectively integrate technology into their curricula, she also
collaborated with Learning Point Associates at North Central Regional
Education Laboratory (NCREL) on several projects.
