Technology

Computers and information technology have transformed the way the world learns, communicates, and conducts business. The rate of world change due to technological advances has necessitated a shift in our students’ education.

The Fayetteville-Manlius Central School District has a shared vision to provide equitable access, superior teaching, authentic experiences for students, and around the clock technology support for all students and staff with technology. From the Board of Education to the District Planning Team to in-service offerings and digital portfolios, Fayetteville-Manlius has created an innovative technology experience for students, teachers, administrators, and the community.

Today’s educators must provide a learning environment that takes students beyond the walls of their classrooms and into a world of endless opportunities.

Technology standards promote this classroom transformation by ensuring that digital-age students are empowered to learn, live, and work successfully today and tomorrow.
