Step 1. Choose from the available topics. There is no set order to complete the badges. You pick what badge you want to earn. You can earn 1, 3, 5, 10, or all of them! It's completely voluntary to participate.
Step 2. Complete training at your own pace or request a 1-on-1 coaching session from a digital learning specialist. There may be required readings, videos to watch, or lesson plans to develop to complete the required training.
Step 3. Show what you know! Review the badge requirements that demonstrate your understanding and application of the topic. Provide evidence that supports you've met the badge criteria. Share a link to your evidence via the topic submission form.
Step 4. Earn the badge! The technology office in collaboration with the office of curriculum & instruction will review evidence and award badges upon completion. If there are any questions about submitted evidence, you will be contacted directly. We hope to provide both a digital and tangible badge.
In addition to earning the badges, you can also bundle 10 badges of similar focus (i.e. tech tools, Google, etc) to earn 10 PDPs!
