Technology
Rye Country Day School adopted a "Laptop Program" in 1999 "to make the information processing power of the computer available to students whenever and wherever needed. Students in grades 7–12 are required to have a laptop computer (either Windows or Apple operating systems) and funding is provided to support this requirement. These students use a campus-wide wireless network. Students in 6th grade and below use the computer labs that are located in the Lower, Middle, and Upper school. Smart Boards are used in every classroom.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
