Digital Technology for Learning 

The use of technology is an integral part of learning at Queen Elizabeth School, as required by Alberta Education’s curriculum. Students are encouraged to use our network and digital learning tools such as tablets, computers, online applications, and other digital resources to collaborate with others to contribute to the learning environment in meaningful, positive ways. Prior to using technology in the school, learning expectations are communicated to students and parents/guardians. By utilizing the school’s digital resources and/or the network, students agree to the Digital Citizenship guidelines about technology use in the school. For more information about this, follow the link under Digital Citizenship at the CBE (see below). 

Queen Elizabeth School's Admirable Use Policy

At Queen Elizabeth School we will ensure the safety of all students by following the three principles of respect when working with educational technology. This will ensure that we are using digital information and technology resources in a responsible way:

1. Respect Yourself

• Keep your CBE account password and other personal information private.
• Tell your teacher if something on an electronic device makes you feel uncomfortable or is inappropriate.
• Caring for a personally owned and/or wearable device is the responsibility of the owner.
• Use your time wisely when using technology during learning time.

2. Respect Others

• Use appropriate language and communicate respectfully at all times.
• Respect the property and the creative work of others.
• Respect the rights of other people. Do not record or post anything about them.
• Protect and respect the personal information of others.

3. Respect this Place

• Leave all school equipment so that it is ready to be used by others.
• Use the school’s technology and online learning environments to support learning and do so in consultation with your teacher.
• Report any problems with technology equipment as soon as you see them.

Procedure for Policy Violation

Depending on the severity of inappropriate use, consequences will be determined by school teachers and the administrative team. Parents/Guardians will be notified. This Admirable Use Policy complements a number of Calgary Board of Education Administrative Regulations, including: AR1062 – Acceptable Use of Electronic Information Resources, AR6047 – Vandalism and Damage to School Property, AR6005 – Student Code of Conduct, and AR6006 – Progressive Student Discipline.
