It is extremely important that technology integration efforts on the part of The Dalton School and its faculty be firmly tied to the learning and teaching goals of the school. Successful use of technology, in addition to a solid pedagogical framework, relies on some very practical variables: infrastructure, space utilization, access, and reliability. In an effort to address some of these practical variables, Dalton introduced the use of laptop computers to students in 1999.

Today, laptops and other digital devices are ubiquitous. A one-to-one laptop program exists for the Middle and High School grades. First Program has several laptop carts to share throughout the school day. Other digital devices, such as iPads, are also available to use in the classroom. Once can observe the ease in which a student navigates his or her academic digital enviroment throughout the day.
