BPS CIO talks technology on WCVB's CityLine

A few weeks back, I had the unique opportunity to speak with Karen Holmes Ward, host of CityLine, Channel 5's award-winning urban news and feature magazine program, about technology in the BPS as we embark on a new school year.

In Boston, technology plays an increasingly central role as a driver of educational innovation to prepare students for college and career success. We aim to provide students and educators with access to state-of-the-art technology tools and support to eliminate access and achievement gaps, personalize instruction, and engage students in meaningful, relevant ways to realize the goals set forth in the district's Acceleration Agenda.

Thank you to the Honorable Thomas M. Menino, Mayor of Boston, the Boston School Committee, and Dr. Carol Johnson, Superintendent of Schools, for their commitment to education and technology.

Check out the short video segment to learn about some of the ways in which we're using technology in the district to strengthen teaching and learning:
