The goal of Red Deer Catholic 21st Century Learning Initiative is to “prepare … students and educators to be contributing members of an ever-increasing technological and global society through anytime, anywhere learning environment.” The pilot includes the use of netbooks, iPods and various other technologies by students at a number of different grade levels.
 * Goal:**

Improve achievement for all students, bridge the digital divide and enhance instruction. //“It is not the laptop or the technology that determines the success of the project; it is what you do with the equipment. If you are going to embark on this type of project, do it because it enhances learning, not because it is fashionable. Develop a program that will engage teachers and students in the learning process.” - response from Center for Digital Education Research// =Planning and Focusing=
