New Spring 2018: JSD Ed Tech-There's a Badge for That
What are JSD Ed Tech Badges?
Educational Technology Badges are a program designed for educators to monitor and celebrate professional learning. Once a staff member learns a new skill or strategy they submit an artifact demonstrating how they will impact students with this new knowledge. For their efforts they will earn badges that represent they possess skill sets that make them a dynamic asset in the classroom. These badges can then be displayed for the WORLD to see!
What is a digital badge?
Digital badges are "Micro-credentials" that certify the holder is proficient in a specific skill or set of skills. Each badge is equivalent to two hours of relicensure points. Register through JPLS

Google Team Drive
Google Team Drive is now available for Jordan District Staff
Team Drives are shared spaces where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device.
Unlike files in My Drive, files in Team Drive belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done.
