InTech is a technology professional development program designed, implemented, and tested by the Educational Technology Center at Kennesaw State University. Realizing a need for the effective use of technology within the K-12 curriculum, Dr. Traci Redish and Linda Whitacre pioneered the InTech program in 1996 with 75 classroom teachers. The program proved to be an effective approach for delivering technology staff development that focuses on how to successfully INtegrate TECHnology into the K-12 curriculum.

The A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 recognized Georgia's Phase One InTech Professional Development Program as the premier technology integration training solution for Georgia educators. InTech is one acceptable path for meeting the Special Georgia Technology Requirement. The InTech course objectives are correlated to the Georgia Technology Standards for Educators, a state adoption of the International Society for Technology in Education's National Education Technology Standards (ISTE NETS). In addition, InTech meets and exceeds the NCATE standards for pre-service educators and has been integrated into pre-service education in colleges and universities throughout Georgia.

InTech consists of fifty intensive contact hours of hands-on technology integration training designed to build basic computer skills competency while fostering participant skills in five interrelated areas of instructional proficiency:  (1) Georgia’s Quality Core Curriculum Content Standards (2) Use of Modern Technologies, (3) Classroom Management, (4) New Designs for Teaching and Learning, (5) Enhanced Pedagogical Practices.
