Your EdTech Explorer journey is gamified, offering a model for how you could incorporate gamified learning into your own courses - and, of course, to infuse a little fun into your learning.  Here’s how it works:

EARNING POINTS: For every task you complete from the EdTech Explorers PD Menu, you earn points.  As you accumulate points throughout the year, you’ll advance through four different levels of mastery:

LEVEL 1 250 - 499 points

LEVEL 2 500 - 999 points

LEVEL 3 1000 - 1499 points

LEVEL 4 1500+ points

TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS: You can track your progress through the levels on the Mario Leaderboard located on the 3rd floor of Alexander Hall.  This leaderboard celebrates everyone who has “leveled-up” their EdTech knowledge!  A digital leaderboard will also be shared monthly, showcasing the top 5 overall point earners and the top 5 earners for the month.

SASHES AND BADGES: Display your EdTech journey on your EdTech Explorer Sash!  Activities that are eligible for a badge are marked on the points menu.

NOTE: This menu is a living document and will be updated periodically.  Last updated August 2024.
