Description

Effective use of technology can benefit all students, but especially those at the low and high ends of the achievement spectrum. The Technology and High School Success (THSS) initiative was a part of Alberta Education’s ongoing research into best practices in classroom technology implementation. This two‐year project was carried out in the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 school years and involved over 22,000 students and 420 teachers at over 70 schools. This report presents findings of a study into the results of the two-year initiative.
