Teachers have a CHOICE in their learning.
Teachers can choose from topics around Google, Social Media, Blended Learning Web Tools, and Assessment tools. Teachers can choose what they want to learn AND how they want to learn it: through a video tutorial, handout, self-paced lesson, or they can request a face-to-face training. Voice and choice make this a differentiated professional learning experience.
The badges have to be earned and applied for individually by submitting a Badge Request Form that includes evidence of using the tool in the classroom. In the end, it is not really about the badges, but about what happens with our students.
Display your badge digitally or print out the badges and display them outside of the classroom! Be proud :]
If you are currently using a tool not listed, no worries! Just ask and I can create a badge for it!
