Google Drive badges are a hit!
In February, we announced our new Game On CFB Google Drive badges. Within two weeks, we had already awarded 200 of them. Now we're looking about 400 Google Drive badge earners across the district. Our staff members are becoming Google Drive Graduates left and right! We want to celebrate your initiative and knowledge, team! We were blown away by your participation in these new badge opportunities!
Have you earned your Google Drive badges yet? If not, you can get started here!
You voted, we counted, and...
In January, staff submitted their ideas for the next Game On CFB badge. In February and March, you voted for your favorites. The winner?
The Game On CFB development team hopes to release the Google Classroom badge in time for the May Game On CFB Newsletter! Keep your eyes open for other Google Apps badges, too... We will soon have a whole collection of GSuite badges to recognize our most Google-savvy staff!
Also on the near horizon, a GoNoodle badge! Look for that update in May as well!
A new opportunity!
This new badge is available NOW! You can earn your Dynamic Digitales (digital tales, or stories) this month. Engage students in digital storytelling and help them publish their writing and thinking to audiences beyond the classroom. We can't wait to see what our students can do with digital storytelling tools!
Who's winning?
The best games involve a little friendly competition. Our badges for digital learning are no different! We would like to share with you a new feature of Game On CFB -- the LEADERBOARD!
As of the end of last month, these are our top Game On CFB campuses! The leaderboard helps us determine which campuses have earned the most badges collectively. Shout out to our gamers at Rainwater, Field, and Smith for your enthusiasm about digital learning!
The leaderboard also helped us identify the most popular badges. So which badges have been awarded to the most staff members in CFB? As of the end of March, ActivInspire Amateur, Google Drive Go-Getter, and Beyond the Nest were our most popular!
