About Technology and High School Success
In July 2007, Alberta Education issued a Call for Proposals from Alberta school jurisdictions and charter schools interested in exploring the use of technology to improve student engagement and success in high school. As a result, 24 school jurisdictions will be part of the Technology and High School Success project, involving over 22,000 students and 420 teachers at over 70 schools. The projects will use of a variety of technologies, including electronic whiteboards, videoconferencing, laptops, and other hardware and software.
These research projects will be carried out in the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 school years.
