Emily Follensbee Admirable Use Policy | 2025-2026

Digital Technology for Learning

Emily Follensbee School is looking forward to continuing the use of technology for the 2025–2026 academic year. With support from teachers and education assistants, students will have opportunities to engage with tablets, computers, applications, Eyegaze technology, and other digital tools, including personal mobile devices (PMDs). Before technology is used in the classroom, learning expectations are clearly communicated to teachers, education assistants, students, and parents/guardians. Staff have also reviewed the Artificial Intelligence (AI) guidelines to ensure the responsible and effective use of AI tools for teaching and learning.

The use of technology is an integral component of learning at all CBE schools and is supported by Alberta Education’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Program of Studies. By accessing the school’s digital resources and network, students, parents, teachers, and education assistants agree to follow the digital technology use guidelines outlined in this document, as well as the division’s Digital Citizenship expectations. For more information about Digital Citizenship, visit Digital Citizenship Info.
