Digital badging is a flexible, self-paced professional development model that allows educators to build specific skills and earn credentials in a short timeframe, typically 1–3 hours. Educators select badges aligned to their interests or needs—such as Google Classroom, GoGuardian, or Gmail—and request approval through Frontline before beginning.
Once approved, participants complete learning activities such as watching tutorials, practicing skills, and reflecting on their learning. Evidence of completion may include screenshots, created resources, links, and written reflections. After submitting evidence, the badge is reviewed, and upon approval, educators receive a certificate via email. The final steps include uploading the certificate to Frontline, completing an evaluation, and marking the badge as complete.
Overall, digital badging supports targeted skill development, accommodates individual learning preferences and schedules, and helps educators respond effectively to evolving technology through focused, practical learning experiences.
