Innovation Badges
We want to recognize you for trying new innovative things in the classroom. You can click the button for the introduction presentation below for more information.
This page contains a list of all the Badges we currently have available. Below you will find a list of the badges and a description of each as well as links to resources to learn more about them. Click the image for each badge for more information about that tool (Those links were lost this summer when I transferred everything to this new website. I will get them back asap.). There are also forms above to apply for badges, submit new ideas, and request help.
If you have an app or technology related activity that you use and don’t see it on the list please fill out the form and I will add it to our list.

TeacherMade
Teachermade is one of my favorite tools. It is one of the top 3 EdTechTools of all time IMHO. Teacher made lets you take your boring old worksheets and turn them into digital activities or create some very unboring digital activities from scratch. Mrs. A Smith at Lovelady HS had this to say about it in her recommendation, “Instant feed back. Instant corrections. Auto grades. Allows me to track their progress all at once.”

Easel by TPT
Easel is another option for creating online digital assignments. This tool is a part of the TPT system and easily integrates with any activities you have purchased from them. It allows you to digitize and assign activities in Google Classroom. Mrs. Blair at Lovelady HS had this to say about it, “Since the Easel by TPT site is integrated with Google Classroom, it helps cut down on students wondering if they turned an assignment. Its also handy when kids are absent then they can have a virtual copy of the assignment and they don’t miss a beat.”
Mrs. Webb at Godwin Elementary had this to say about it, “Some students struggle with writing neatly on fill in the blank items so by having the assignment digitally it helps those students keep their work neat and on track rather than worrying about fitting everything on the paper.”
