Van ISD Bold School Badging Program


Our goal is to help transform learning experiences so they result in higher levels of achievement for students.

Our Vision - Dynamic Learning

Welcome to the Van ISD Bold School Badging program website, designed for Van ISD teachers. Van ISD's Instructional Technology Dept.'s vision is to focus teachers' attention on positively impacting student learning by encouraging more student-centered use of technology in the classroom. We want you to build your capacity for using technology more dynamically in your classroom. Where do you land when it comes to technology use in the classroom? You'll have the chance to evaluate that as you use the PAGER technology integration model in your lesson planning and delivery.

You will also have the chance to learn how to use different applications to complete tasks that are focused on student learning outcomes. And as you complete tasks for each level, you can apply for badges, earn professional development hours, and receive incentives for completing levels. So join in and experience anytime, anywhere learning experiences that will help you to grow in the use of technology in your classroom so that it doesn't just enhance learning, but transforms it!
