• Showcase a wealth of affordable and accessible digital tools to enhance 21st Century teaching and learning in Catholic Schools,
• Provide opportunities for teachers to explore digital tools and strategies to effectively integrate them in the K-8 curricula, and to
  
• Establish an online community of practice and promote collaboration among and between Catholic educators.
