Apple Badges
Nazareth Area School District Elementary Curriculum Office
If you are still in need of PLO hours or are looking for extra professional development, the Apple Badges courses are available through Apple Teacher. Please see the information below if you are interested in completing an Apple Badge course for PLO hours.
Please register for your apple badge module in My Learning Plan prior to beginning the module for administrative approval. Once you receive administrative approval through My Learning Plan, you may begin your Apple Badge course.
PLO hours will be given for courses completed by the designated date for completion during the 2019-2020 school year.
Please note you may only complete a module and earn a badge one time for PLO hours. PLO hours will only be issued on modules that have not previously been completed.
The technology specialists have created a Schoology course for support in accessing and completing the Apple Badge course and for uploading the required documentation upon completion of the course. There is a video in the Schoology course that explains how to access and begin the modules. You should see the Schoology course when you log in to Schoology. If you do not see the Apple Badges Schoology course for your building, please see Shawn or Melissa or you can join using the following access codes:
NAIS - 2BR44-2D7FT
SES - ZKVH3-JBBF2
LNES - DB2CQ-5NMBM
KBES - HT5PG-DS7KW
Once you complete the Apple module, please submit the Progress Report, which should have the date completed, in the Schoology course. (Please note, this is different from last year where you uploaded the Apple Badge.) The directions for uploading the Progress Report are in the Schoology course.
The technology specialists will communicate with you once you have submitted your progress report via Schoology to ensure completion of all requirements. Once the technology specialists have reviewed the work, they will pass it along to my office so they PLO hours can be issued through My Learning Plan.
You will receive 1.5 PLO hours for each badge completed.
Special thanks to the technology specialists for helping to get this ready. It is a great opportunity to learn more about integrating technology into your instruction. If you have any questions or need help accessing Schoology or Apple Teacher, please see Melissa, Shawn, or me.
