Technology
The use of technology in special education helps break barriers and provides our students with access to the most relevant educational programs that are available.
During the 2018-19 school year, P721Q The John F. Kennedy Jr. School identified a series of technology upgrades that were necessary for our student's success. Applying for Resolution "A" (Reso "A") projects, P721Q sought to improve our technology capabilities through enhancement projects funded through individual grants allocated by the Queens Borough President or the members of the New York City Council. Knowing that our students need multiple ways to access educational opportunities, the school was able to secure 70 Promethean ActivBoard to ensure that every classroom had the technology it needed to teach our students.

With this improvement, students are now able to interact with digital content during classroom lessons. A huge step forward, the John F. Kennedy Jr. School community now looks to mobilize its technology capabilities to ensure that all students have the ability to learn no matter where they are.
