SMASD TechSpot Badging Center

SMASD Teachers,

When it comes to technology integration, we certainly aren't the staff we were just 2 years ago. Your energy, enthusiasm and willingness to take risks is not only admirable, but contagious. And, you are doing it all for the sake of providing the best 21st century education possible for your students. That said, it is time that we too evolve and up our game.

The TechPoints program had a great run, getting many of you trained on new methods of planning and instruction with technology. We had over 25 tech badges earned, involving over 20 teachers! This means that we have an army of 20+ ready to help each other out and become masters of tech integration that meets our needs. The problem? Who specializes in what? If I, as a teacher, want to start using Remind.com to communicate with my parents, which of my colleagues is the one to consult?

That is why we are starting the new TechSpot Badging Center! Here you can get trained, show your stuff and get a badge to prove it!

It is time to celebrate your achievements with technology. Get your badges here and proudly display them on your website, as well as your classroom door.

Now is not the moment to be humble, if you have incorporated a tool or app, let us know how you did it! Your badge will inspire others. Our team is full of specialists from whom we can learn so much.

So let's take things up a notch and GET BADGING!

Thank you for all you do.

~Your TechCoaches: Jen, Angie & Amanda
