A variety of technologies are used in Hamden's schools - computers (both Macs and PCs), iPads, Chromebooks, interactive digital boards, digital scientific probes, graphing calculators, document cameras, and a variety of online applications.

- To equip students with valuable (even essential) skills in using common technologies (computers, Internet, word processors, presentation software, spreadsheets) so that they will be successful in whatever paths they choose after leaving our schools; and

Our district-wide technology staff is as follows:
