Digital Badges & Micro-Credentials
Learners earn digital badges and micro-credentials as they demonstrate competency of skills.
What are Digital Badges?
Digital badges are a way for educators to quickly show off their skills - think of it as a visual resume!
We encourage our districts to create MobileMind badges to celebrate learners’ competency of a particular skill or set of skills around a specific topic, concept, or tool. Learners can earn badges after completing a small group of related micro-courses.
Why Digital Badges?
- Leaders
- Quickly see who is competent with specific skills.
- Identify levels of mastery throughout educators' professional learning journey! (Nearpod Beginner, SEL Superstar, K-5 STEM Whiz. etc.)
- Use badges to motivate educators to complete professional learning goals!
- Educators
- Use digital badges like a visual resume!
- Collect badges to bring an element of friendly competition to PD with your colleagues.
- Make it easier for district and school leaders to quickly identify you as a high-flyer with a specific skill set!
