Claire DeMarco - Introduction to Digital Badging

Digital Badging is not a "one-size-fits all" type of learning style, rather micro-credentials that are tailored to meet the needs of the learners. Digital Badges are created in house and are a great way to work at your own pace. A certificate is provided to show that the learner is proficient and can demonstrate the set skill being addressed. As learners, we can spend as much time honing in on the set skill we would like and vary in 1-3 hours. In order to receive completion, someone from Orchard Park reviews your evidence and provides feedback to show you can demonstrate the set skill.

The digital badging process is an extremely personalized way for teachers to learn the new ways of technology in our district.

The digital badging process is an extremely personalized and differentiated way for teachers to learn the new ways of technology in our district. They are small courses to become proficient in a specific skills. There will be checkpoints to prove your proficiency to earn each badge. These could include taking a screenshot, providing a link of the work you have done, or writing a reflection. After all your evidence has been uploaded you need to request feedback so someone can review the work. Once that is done, you will get an email stating that my certificate is available to and you upload it to frontline to receive credit.

Digital badging is a way to learn a new skill and earn professional development credit at your own pace and on your own time. In Frontline you can choose the digital badging course you'd like to complete. Once you receive approval, head to the OP Tech site to create a digital badging account. There is a step-by-step process to create an account with OP by signing in with google and using the unique code to access the OP group. Once in the OP group, you can choose which digital badges you'd like to join. Watch the tutorials and complete the evidence of learning, reflections or links and choose to receive feedback. You will earn a certificate when your evaluations are reviewed, and then you will need to upload the certificate into Frontline for final approval.

Digital Badging is where the learner can decide what they want to learn about and how much they want to learn. Digital badging offers courses in Google Classroom, GoGuardian, SeeSaw and more. The list of choices is in the district catalog. You must register before completing any badging courses. There are three steps to completing a digital badging. You need to watch the video, submit s screenshot, write a reflection, and possible submit a link if asked for it. Once you completed those steps you request someone to look at your work and then you have offically become a badger of that topic.

To obtain a digital badge, receive approval in Frontline first. Then after your account has been created thru Google and you join the OP group, you can join a Badge. From there complete the evidence and offer any reflections or links requested. Download your certificate and upload into Frontline for final approval. Badges offer an opportunity to learn in small chunks of time, at your own pace, with your own learning style. Mini-customized PD.

Digital badging is a form of professional development that is very flexible.  A learner can select courses of interest and complete coursework at their pace and at a convenient time for them.  This actually reminds me of Tech Flix from a few years ago, but with a more organized location to access coursework and upload documentation. This introductory badge was a very brief, yet thorough explanation of the badging process.

Digital badging is an online place where the learner has control of their place, time, pace and the path of learning they choose. It can be customized, allows someone to learn a specific skill.  It also allows for feedback.  You register, join the badge and awarded after submitting evidence.  It can be personalized, an alternative to in person while still having a community of learning

Explanation of Digital Badging

Digital Badging is an alternative to in person learning. Allows learners to control the time, pace, path and place of learning.  Digital badging is a short 1-3 hour learning event.  The learner is allowed to practice the skils learned and show evidence of learning. I am excited to begin this new learning opportunity.

Digital badging is a type of "micro-credential" that provides the learner with a customized and flexible way to become proficient in a specific set of skills.  Digital badging allows the learner to complete the lesson at a time and place that is convenient to them and also requires that evidence be submitted (typically an image, text, or link).  The learner then receives feedback on their evidence and is awarded the digital badge if everything is complete and accurate.  Digital badging is NOT intended to cover large amounts of material and the hours awarded are not always exactly equivalent to seat time.

I signed up for GoGuardian and realized I needed this crash course first! These micro-courses are virtual lessons about technology specific to our district. The process includes logging in, entering our group code, joining individual badges, watching videos, practicing the skills presented and then providing proof via a picture and recapping your learning in reflections. This was a great start for the Digital Badging courses!
