What is STLP Level Up?
Complete fun, learner centered, self-paced activities and/or challenges to collect Level Up badges. Along the way, explore new areas of STLP while engaging with the Kentucky Academic Standards for Technology, Computer Science and Library Media.
How to Claim Level Up Badges:
STLP Level Up operates entirely on the "honor system"... meaning, if your STLP earns a badge you simply claim it by downloading the image file. Some STLP's elect to celebrate their achievements by displaying their collected badges digitally or in hard copy for all the school to see.
Why Collect Level Up Badges?
Level Up activities are provided as another STLP resource. Like all parts of STLP, participation is not required in any way. However, if your STLP intends to become/remain a Gold Status school, reporting on which badges you've collected throughout the school year is part of the application process.
STLP+Standards Posters
STLP rubrics and resources are built upon the Kentucky Academic Standards for Technology. For example, a quick look at the STLP Project Toolkit and you'll notice the Level's 1-2-3 rubrics are directly correlated to each of the KAS Technology concepts.
The STLP+KAS Technology posters are presented as "I am..." statements to help students tie their STLP activities in a meaningful way to the standards. As an educator, using the STLP activities for your classroom will give you the peace of mind to know that you're introducing students to a path towards mastery of the KAS for Tech.
Students can collect their STLP projects and digital products as artifacts to support their Kentucky minimum graduation requirement of demonstrating technology competency. As of 2021, the KAS for Technology are required to be taught K-12. Let STLP and these posters help guide learning.
