Digital Badging - Showcase Your Skills and Accomplishments!
Jul 19, 19
Digital badging is fairly new, but it is becoming more and more popular as a way to make learning visible and to validate that learning has occurred. Digital Badges are online representations of your achievements, and collecting them is surprisingly addictive.
Future-Ready Teachers Group
The Future-Ready Teachers group is a free group on Badge List that focuses on data literacy, digital citizenship, education technology, parent engagement, and professional development. This is a group for all educators who believe that continuous improvement is good for kids.
Check out the Badge Themes and Learning Pathways available from this group:
Badging Boss: A very meta badge rewarded to teachers who use Badge List to create a badging program for students.
BlendEd Track (3 Tiers): This pathway is focused on the effective blending of technology into the classroom.
Data Magic Track (3 Tiers): Teachers will be pushed to use data to inform their instruction and personal growth.
Digital Media Track (3 Tiers): Teachers will be challenged to weave blogging, videos, and podcasts into lessons and communications.
Mentor Maestro: Because those who pay it forward should be rewarded for their efforts.
Model Citizen: For teachers who not only preach good digital citizenship, but model it in their own online presence.
Parent Engagement Track (3 Tiers): A learning pathway for teachers who want to improve classroom transparency and create consistent, personalized communication habits.
Seal of Authenticity: Because authentic learning is the best kind of learning.
Tweecher Track (3 Tiers): Because teachers who build personal learning networks on social media are more likely to display traits like innovation, collaboration, and ongoing reflection.
