WBL EdTech Badge Wall
The Badge Wall is back! Impress your colleagues and students by becoming proficient with ed tech tools such as the Google Suite, YouTube, and Twitter. You also will earn a snazzy looking certificate to display proudly in your classroom to demonstrate your awesomeness!
15 PD hours will be given upon completion of the entire wall, but you must sign-up in PD Express. If you don't sign up, you will not receive credit.
If you started last year your progress is saved. Now is the time for you to finish up.
Join the Google Classroom to get going with this self-paced PD. Directions are below.
- Click “Open” on the White Bear Lake EdTech Badge Wall assignment to get your own copy of the digital badge wall.
- Click on one of the tools along the bottom of the digital badge wall. Work through the challenges at your own pace. There are links to videos that will explain how to do each task. When you complete a task, put an “X” in the “Check off with an X” column to earn your badge. If you already know how to do a task, skip the tutorials and mark it with an “X”.
- Click the “Turn In” button when you have completed each challenge by.
Free InsertLearning Subscription
InsertLearning is a Google Chrome extension that lets you turn websites into interactive lessons. Once installed it gives students a toolbar that allows students to highlight and annotate, but also allows teachers to embed multiple choice and discussion questions right into any website.
It was started three years ago by a couple of teachers at a small ALC next to Jethros Char-House in Mahtomedi. This year (and next year) they are giving a free subscription to ALL White Bear Lake educators.
Once you sign up, you’ll automatically be upgraded from the free trial to a full subscription.
This is a ton of work to put together. Thank you for taking the time.
