Technology

Salisbury prides itself on discovering new and exciting ways to integrate technology into the classroom. Our Educational Technology team works with faculty members in all disciplines to create new and dynamic teaching resources.  Our wireless network access provides coverage in nearly every location on campus. Salisbury wants boys to be connected, organized and productive.  

All dorms and academic buildings are equipped with wireless access. Students are given their own network storage, e-mail and Web portal accounts to communicate with faculty and peers, as well as obtain access to critical academic resources.

Salisbury has three primary goals for incorporating technology into our curriculum:
  • To arm students with 21st Century skills as they prepare for college and life;
  • To enhance the in-classroom experience for all styles of learning; and
  • To engage the students with technology in a wide variety of exercises and projects.

  • E-mail and electronic communication
  • File management
  • Web-based research and electronic media literacy
  • Word processing
  • Graphing and spreadsheet applications
  • Presentation
