    Good morning Ecosystem Partners,

     

    Could you all share ideas with me regarding what you’re doing with Digital Badging, your successes, opportunities for improvement and who are engaged? Are you only doing it with students and is anyone doing it with Teacher PD?

    We have been working with digital badging/micro-credentialing for teachers. There are a number of vendors who offer digital badging services for teachers. We have developed our own process in Greene County Schools. Most of the badges focus on effectively infusing technology into teaching and learning and high yield literacy strategies. Challenges are issued and anyone interested may accept the challenge. Teachers work at their own pace and may be supported by a colleague or an Instructional Technology Facilitator. Sometimes entire departments complete a challenge together.   Here is a link to a presentation that captures our approach.

    Hi Sherita,

    We have started credentialing Teacher PD this summer for Apple Apps with plans to expand to other PD realms, mostly centered on tech knowledge and skills.

    Here’s the initial site:  https://code65.org/apple-teacher-pd
