Technology & NYS Standards

Across all New York State learning standards, technology is embedded as a tool for inquiry, creation, communication, analysis, and problem-solving. Students progress from using simple tools for exploration and expression in early childhood to using advanced digital tools to research, design, analyze, and communicate in meaningful, real-world contexts.
