Thanks for another great #EduSkyChat! Tune in next Tuesday, Feb 25, when @lindsaytoubbyck.bsky.social moderates! Our topic will be "EdTech for All: Unlocking Success for Multilingual Learners!" @karlymoura.com ura.com @scandela9.bsky.social @dustinpearson2.bsky.social

Not gonna lie -- This #EduSkyChat filled my heart tonight. I know that there are challenges to digital credentials and the ecosystem at large, but CHEERS to a group of educators sharing their appreciation of a new-version of education and learning! #EduSkyChat

A3: It's vital that we design OPEN badges moving forward. The technology behind building the metadata into the digital badge images is changing the way employers and higher-ed institutions verify skills rather than just claims on an application or resume. TRANSPARENT EARNING! #EduSkyChat

Q3: If you could design a dream badge system for educators or students, what skills would you prioritize, and how would you ensure its value? #EduSkyChat @karlymoura.com @scandela9.bsky.social @dustinpearson2.bsky.social

I also find that there's confusion around digital credential vocabulary. Which word do you use when? And does it mean what we want it to mean? I worked with IMS Global (Now 1EdTech) back in 2020 to redesign openbadges.org for this exact purpose!! #EduSkyChat

A2: Competency-based learning is just plain EMPOWERING!! It's respectful of skills that our learners bring into our spaces, which is SO important when working with adult learners. #EduSkyChat

Q2: Competency-based learning shifts the focus from ‘seat time’ to demonstrated skills. How do you see this approach benefiting (or challenging) K-12 education? #EduSkyChat @karlymoura.com @scandela9.bsky.social @dustinpearson2.bsky.social

A1: I've been in the digital credentialing space since 2013, focusing primarily on badges and micro-credentials for professional learning. It has a BIG place in my heart!! #EduSkyChat

Q1: Digital badges are popping up in PD, student learning, and even hiring. What’s your experience with earning or issuing badges? Have they been meaningful to you?  #EduSkyChat @karlymoura.com @scandela9.bsky.social @dustinpearson2.bsky.social

A3. waiting on watching on this one #EduSkyChat

A2: engaging with chambers of commerce in your city is a great start to learning more about the industries that are present & even forge parternships w/ city orgs there. Inviting guest speakers, planning industry field trips, & reaching out to caregivers who work locally are also options #EduSkyChat

And HI to #EduSkyChat community! I'm Cate from Santa Barbara, really happy to have these moments to pause and connect with all the caring educator sin our community!

Welcome everyone to tonight's #EduSkyChat -- and a bit shout out to @ejlauver.bsky.social for taking the moderator reins tonight!!

1 of the most powerful things we can do as educators is create learning experiences that are inclusive & accessible to all students. Ep 4 of #AIOnRamps demos how AI can help us design creative, multilingual student activities that spark curiosity & connection using #AdobeExpress youtu.be/wx1wi6cnUO0
