But I digress… technology, specifically in the form of micro-credentials (sometimes called digitalbadging) has emerged not only as a powerful, accessible and appropriate way to learn online, but is also allows teachers to manage their time and resources better (keep in mind many teachers pay for PD out their own pocket).
Digital devices, be they iPads, laptops, Chromebooks, Macs, or PCs, give students access to endless amounts of web-based resources for research, inquiry, collaboration, sharing, and more. If you successfully demonstrate competence, you will receive the micro-credential in the form of a digitalbadge. Not anymore.
To encourage students to take advantage of extracurricular activities that may improve their chances of staying enrolled and complement their classroom learning, the University of Central Oklahoma devised a system that awards digitalbadges for participation in events and clubs and also compiles evidence for interested future employers.
I sat through many sit-and-get lectures and inapplicable seminars and, while I hate to admit it, I often brought papers to grade because I felt that was a more valuable use of my time. However, technology can give teachers access to more relevant professional learning opportunities that they can complete on their own time.
