EdTechTrain worked with K–12 schools, districts and technology organisations to connect professional development with everyday teaching. Its focus was the practical use of technology in the curriculum, supported by training and project management.
Education first
The archived site described a team with more than 25 years of combined experience supporting educators. Its approach paired knowledge of classroom teaching with the planning needed to introduce new devices, applications and learning environments.
Training was shaped around a school’s goals and the experience of its teachers. Workshops combined demonstrations, hands-on activities and time to develop materials that participants could take back to their own classrooms.

The 2021 profile identified Beth Klineman as President and CEO. It recorded her entry into education in 1990, six years of classroom teaching and a subsequent move into educational technology consulting.
Her academic background included a B.A. from Roanoke College and an M.A. in Technology and Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. The archived profile described work with schools, educational conferences and professional development programmes.
A practical working approach
- Align the training with the school’s instructional goals.
- Prepare examples that make sense for the participants’ subjects and grade levels.
- Build in guided practice and opportunities to collaborate.
- Connect the workshop to a plan for classroom implementation.
The school project collection shows how those ideas appeared in district and classroom programmes. The historical team page preserves the earlier staff directory.
