Technology

The technology department plans, installs, and supports all technology related equipment and information systems throughout the Brooklyn City Schools.  In addition, instructional technology training and professional development is provided to our staff and students to support teaching and learning.

The District, either directly or through a technology provider, is electing to generally monitor all school-issued devices (as that term is defined by Senate Bill 29, R.C. 3319.325). The monitoring will include the following features: screen monitoring while in-district, location tracking and student interactions with school-issued devices (e.g., keystrokes and web-browsing activity). The District generally monitors these features for the purpose of noncommercial education, such as instruction, technical support, and/or exam proctoring, and is necessary to comply with federal or state law and to participate in federal and state funding programs. Additionally, these features are generally monitored as a necessary precaution for preventing and/or responding to threats to life or safety. Finally, the District or its technology provider will generally access or monitor a school-issued device if it becomes aware that the device is missing or stolen or if such action is permitted under a judicial warrant.

Understanding and using technology has become a vital part of nearly every aspect of daily life.  The Technology Department for the Brooklyn City School District recognizes the school system’s responsibility to prepare students for this reality.  The Technology Department, through its commitment to use technology daily to provide a quality education will:

• Provide students and staff with the opportunity to utilize current and relevant technology tools and resources on a regular basis
• Prepare staff and students to fully integrate technology in teaching and learning
• Prepare students for a 21st century workforce by promoting a rigorous curriculum infused with collaborative partnerships, projects requiring creativity and critical thinking and problem solving skills, global awareness, and media literacy in a technology rich environment
• Promote digital citizenship and ethical behavior while utilizing technology resources
• Provide efficient and effective technology support and maintenance of technology services
