Tech Tribe Badge Challenges allow teachers the opportunity to learn and integrate tech tools in their classrooms. Completing the challenge for a tech tool makes teachers eligible for a "Tech Tribe" badge for their work. Badges can be proudly displayed by their classroom door to let everyone know how fabulous they are at integrating technology! Teachers work hard at their own pace to complete Challenges such as Google Classroom, Google Drive, Poll Everywhere, Nearpod, Pear Deck, Plickers, Digital Citizenship, and many more. Once you have completed the challenge, complete a Badge Form to receive a Tech Tribe Badge as a reward and recognition for your commitment to moving our students toward college and career readiness.

Seesaw is a learning journal that allows students to post pictures and videos of their work for others in the class to view, like, and make comments on. A coordinating parent app also allows parents to view their child's work and make comments. The website is https://web.seesaw.me/.

The educator will model digital age work and learning while providing students with the opportunity to be interactive learners.
