TICAL, Technology Information Center for Administrative

Located at portical.org is information that will help administrators in finding resources to assist in the day-to-day needs of their jobs, whether they are site level principals or district superintendents. These resources have been collected and organized by a cadre of technology-savvy, practicing administrators and met criteria judged to be of value to other administrators.

The Portal also has an easy to use threaded discussion area where one can post a question or discuss an item of importance, and receive input from administrators across the nation. There are many other resources embedded in this Portal, such as columns for administrators, quick surveys, profiles of technology leaders and other interesting facts.

In 2002, TICAL Arkansas was launched. Under the auspices of the Arkansas Department of Education, a cadre of administrators from that state contributes new resources to our collection and provides orientation and training sessions throughout the state.
