About Professional Development Badges

Picture
The field of educational technology is vast as there are many tools available today that can increase teacher productivity and student engagement as well as enhance the overall teaching and learning experience. 
Educators need to keep their "feet in the water" by learning of new trends, research and strategies.  As we support personalization and differentiation in student learning--teachers should be allowed to have choices in their learning as well. Digital Badges are a fun way to complete this task. 
A digital badge is an online representation of skill you've earned.  As more of our learning comes by way of digital experiences, badges are becoming a more prominent method of acknowledging competencies and accomplishments. Therefore, digital badges are not simply awarded for attendance or participation; but on the application of the tool or strategy in the classroom.
Teachers at the Ministry of Education now have the opportunity to select what technology they want to learn while also earning PD credits! 

Badges are managed by Badgr.com
