Peek over a kid's shoulders as they play their favorite video games, and you're likely to see some form of micro-credential system - badges, trophies, achievements - that they unlock as they conquer new parts of the game. Similar recognition systems have been used for years by organizations from the Boy Scouts to NASA.
Our Badge-I.T. mission is to help teachers break down their professional development goals into small, manageable chunks of micro-mastery. Build your proficiency in one specific area of Instructional Technology at a time... and get rewarded with SWAG!
