Forest Hills technology director says educational tech expanding from infrastructure to classroom tools
Summary
Director Susan Bordewyk told the Curriculum Committee the Technology Department supports infrastructure and an expanding set of classroom technologies — including AI tools, robotics, VR, and grant‑funded teacher projects supporting multilingual learners.
Susan Bordewyk, the district's director of technology, told the Curriculum Committee the department supports both backbone infrastructure and classroom educational technologies.
"The Technology Department plays a large role in educational technologies," Bordewyk said, citing examples across grades: science‑based tools, AI‑related technologies, robotics, virtual reality, and health and wellness technology. She said some projects are small, funded through FHPS Foundation grants requested by individual teachers, while others support specific student populations such as multilingual learners.
Bordewyk emphasized that technology work ranges from individual classroom grants to larger‑scale deployments tied to instruction and athletics. The committee received the update as part of the meeting's informational segment.
