In 1986, a group of approximately 30 educators met to discuss the possibility of forming a statewide organization for computer-using educators. Since its inception, ICE has steadily grown. The organization has continually expanded its membership and has shown leadership in encouraging the development growth and use of technology in all facets of the educational process. ICE has come a long way in a short time. The dedication and energy that has characterized ICE in the past will continue to make it the viable, important organization it is today.
