Facing budget cutbacks that have forced them to shed staff, services and purchasing programs, many schools in the region have little money to spare for technology upgrades these days.

From buying laptops for students in Natick to outfitting classrooms with cutting-edge interactive devices in Framingham and Milford, school leaders are willing to turn over many stones to find any funding sources they can to keep stride with a generation of plugged-in students. “Children today learn differently,” said Rob Bonnell, chief technology officer for the Milford school system. “They know technology. They grew up with it. We need to keep up with that.”
