Introducing the New Searchable Digital Resource Directory and Resource Request Process Page!

Often when a new staff member starts working in Dedham they ask, “What technology is available here?” That is a difficult question to answer as you can see from this newly created and populated searchable database which attempts to answer this question and more about our technology resources. The list includes hardware, apps, software, and subscription/license required websites; it also lists some resources that are not approved for use. Well over 90% are approved of the nearly 300 resources listed. You can filter the lists by various age ranges, types of resources, areas of use as well as a primary contact if you have a question about a resource. This directory includes resources primarily used by teachers with students. It doesn't include all digital resources used by teachers. If we missed something or if you have suggested improvements, please let us know. We do our best to keep this resource updated.

We’ve been working on this project for a long time and finally are able to provide a tool that we believe is useful to you. Judy has provided this video overview (5:49 minutes) of how you access and use the directory as well as more information on technology resource procurement.
