INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
-
APS continues to move towards seamless technology integration throughout the District. Not only within the classroom, also with the classroom support system and at the administration level. The Information Technology Department provides the servers, network infrastructure, hardware, applications, integration, and support solutions needed to fully leverage the technologies that allow teachers to deliver a relevant and highly engaging learning experience in a 21st century classroom.
Through standards–based technology integration practices, APS creates engaging and empowering learning experiences for all students that reflect their lives and their futures. Teachers employ technology to implement relevant, rigorous, and engaging learning experiences that promote student creativity and learning. APS administrators create, promote, and sustain a shared vision that maximizes the use of digital resources to meet learning goals, supports collaborative and technology–based instructional practices, and enhances the performance of District and school leaders.
Information Technology Division is responsible for the technological implementations for the Atlanta Public Schools District.
The Information Technology Team maintains the District’s data center, operating systems, workstations, email, network, security, telecommunication, and other technology platforms. The department is also responsible for managing
IT assets, providing first-level support through the service desk, and desk–side support to the schools through Field Support Technicians.
