In addition to graduate credits, now you can earn micro-credentials by taking the ED Technology Specialists online courses. These micro-credentials demonstrate and verify the skills you achieve while completing the courses. The micro-credentials are part of a sequence of credentials accumulated over time, which indicate that you have furthered your skills as an educator – expertly integrating technology into your practice to facilitate student engagement and success. The micro-credentials can be added to a portfolio, blog, resume, or professional profile and will verify your skills as an ETS Digital Learner, Digital Integrator, Edtech Practitioner, Emerging Edtech Specialist, and Certified Edtech Specialist. This is a complimentary service available to participants who finish at least one three-credit course with a B+ or higher. Once you fill out the correct form you will be emailed a digital badge along with a portfolio of specific evidence that demonstrates competency in the skill. The image below illustrates this portfolio. Click here to start earning your first micro-credential!
