January-June 2016
Click the link below each challenge to get started!
Macbook Basics
What all can your MacBook do for you? This badge offers information on shortcuts and settings to help you learn more about one of the best pieces of technology in your classroom.
Osmo
After playing with the Osmo during staff development you want to give it a try in your classroom, but where do you start? This badge will take you through the steps of setting it up on your iPad as well as where to find great lessons for your students.
SharpSchool Basics and Extras
You sat through website training, but do you really remember how to upload that picture? This badge will remind you of how to update your website so that everyone thinks you are a pro.
Challenge yourself to become better with technology in the classroom during the new year!
Over the next few months you can earn technology staff development credit at your own pace. Badges will be earned after you complete a technology challenge which will be linked below. Once you have finished the challenge, turn in your evidence to Mrs. Treadway or Mrs. Tobin for a badge on your iPad.
How do you earn credit?
- Choose which badge you want to complete, when you have time to to do so. Feel free to do all of the challenges, skip around and do just a few, or do only enough for your renewal credits.
- Earn .1 credit hours for every badge completed (certified staff only need .7 every renewal).
- If you get stuck on a challenge, drop by the media center on "Tech Tuesdays." Every Tuesday until 3:30 p.m. someone will be there to assist you with any technology issues or the challenge that you are working on.
- Don't forget to turn in your evidence after completing each challenge to get credit and a new badge on your iPad for all to see how tech savvy you are!
We are open to suggestions! If there are any technology related topics you would like to see as a challenge please let us know!
