To access badges in Canvas (Badgr), create a free Badgr account at www.badgr.com. Login to your Canvas account and and then click this link: https://caddoschools.instructure.com/enroll/9MJFKM. Follow the prompts for adding Badgr as an external tool to your Canvas account. Once you complete this, you should be able to access Badgr through the "Badges" tab on the left navigation menu in Canvas. If you need help, contact the Caddo Canvas Help Desk.

The links below are to documents to show you what is expected to earn each badge. All work will be submitted through Canvas or Badgecraft. If after 1-2 days, you do not get notice that submitted work has been approved or rejected, contact Lynda Delo by Caddo email. Many of your submissions will need to be screenshots. If you are using a PC, we prefer you use a snipping tool like the Windows Snipping Tool or and extension such as Chrome Capture or Snipify so it saves it as an image file (the typical method of holding the FN key while clicking the button that says "PrtScr" only saves the image onto your clipboard and you'll have to insert it into a document to send us) and upload the image in an image file format such as .jpg, .png etc. Image files are easier for the person validating your evidences as they don’t have to download anything to view it. Instructions for using Chrome Capture can be found HERE. We will accept regular screenshots for your first couple of badges, after that we will work with you so you can send images instead of documents.
