​Technology Used for Learning at the CBE

Digital technologies are changing the way we deliver educational programs to our students. We use a variety of technology tools to support and personalize each student’s learning. Tech tools include hardware (such as laptops, iPads, iPods) and software (like G Suite for Education, and D2L). Visit the CBE website for more information on some of the CBE-wide digital technologies.​​

  • ​​Brightspace, by Desire2Learn (D2L), is an online environment available to all our staff and students for collaboration, communication, organization and assessment. It is also the virtual classroom for the online programs offered through CBe-learn, the CBE’s online learning school. For assistance with sign in issues and more, go to the technical support site.​
  • ​​​Iris: a web-based teaching and learning application consisting of student learning plans, learner profiles, resource library and teacher and administrator workspaces.
  • ​​Gmail & Google Workspace for Education: an online space to create documents, presentations and websites wherever internet access is available. It is solely for teacher and student-created work, and not for student records, grades, demographics or other such information. For assistance with ​login issues and more go to the technical support site.
  • ​​eLibrary: an online catalogue for all CBE school libraries (learning commons) with detailed information on books, DVDs and other resources that are available to borrow and online resources offered by Calgary Public Library and others. It is available to parents/guardians, students and staff.​
  • ​SchoolMessenger: our communication tool that allows schools to easily and securely send email, phone and text messages to parents / guardians. To receive messages from our school, be sure to subscribe. To change the email address or phone number where you receive your messages, contact our school. Add our school email address to your address book or "safe senders list" to make sure our messages don't go to your spam folder.

  • Learning Commons: the concept of the traditional library is changing to include technology, online tools and spaces for collaboration and exploration.
